<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Travelers Companies has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Travelers Companies's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Travelers Companies's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.73%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Why Travelers Shares Are Trading Lower By Around 8%? Here Are Other Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Mid-Day Session

The Travelers Companies&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) reported a mixed first quarter, with earnings lagging<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/04/b38288054/travelers-reports-excellent-first-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;analyst' expectations</a>. Core income per share reached $4.69 from $4.11 a year ago, missing the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$4.90 consensus forecast</a>. Net income per share rose to $4.80 from $4.13 a year earlier.
The stock declined after the results. The New York-based company offers auto, home, and business property casualty insurance.
For the first quarter, net written premiums increased by 8% to $10.18 billion, while total revenues also increased 16% Y/Y to $11.23 billion, beating the Street consensus of $10.51 billion. The company attributed performance to strong profitability, production in all three segments, and higher investment income.
The quarter included an elevated level of catastrophe losses of $712 million pre-tax, compared to $535 million pre-tax in the prior year quarter.
Catastrophe losses primarily resulted from severe wind and hail storms in the central and eastern regions of the United States.
The company's underlying combined ratio fell from 90.6% to 87.7% in the quarter. The lower the ratio, the more profitable the insurance company, and vice versa.
The quarterly net investment income increased 28% to $846 million pre-tax ($698 million after-tax). Income from the fixed-income investment portfolio increased over the prior year's quarter due to a higher average yield and growth in fixed-maturity investments.
Dividend:&nbsp;The Board declared a 5%&nbsp;growth in the regular quarterly dividend to $1.05 per share.&nbsp;
Travelers Companies stock gained over 30% in the last 12 months. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Invesco KBW Property &amp; Casualty Insurance ETF&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBWP#NASDAQ">KBWP</a>) and&nbsp;IShares U.S. Insurance ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAK#NYSE">IAK</a>).
Price Action: TRV shares are down 3.20% at $215.98 premarket on the last check Wednesday.

Elevated Catastrophe Losses From Hail and Wind Storm Hurt Travelers Companies Q1 Profit, Stock Slides

WIIM

The Travelers Companies shares are trading lower following Q1 earnings.

U.S. stocks are priming for a firmer start on Wednesday, potentially striving to inflect higher from the weakness seen so far in April. As some bullish market watchers pointed out there could be an inflection from the second half of April, with earnings potentially serving as an upside catalyst. 
Following Federal Reserve Chair <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/04/38278182/powell-delays-fed-rate-cuts-we-need-greater-confidence-in-inflation-2-year-yields-spik">Jerome Powell&#8217;s speech on Tuesday,</a> most economists have dialed back expectations of rate cuts this year, as they began to bake in the possibility of the central bank staying higher for longer than expected. Against the backdrop, bond yields could also be on investors&#8217; radar.

Cues From Previous Session:
Traders, wary about the possibility of no rate cuts, showed indecision on Tuesday. The major indices moved back and forth across the unchanged line in a directionless manner before closing narrowly mixed. As Powell reentered the hawkish policy lane, the ten-year bond yield rose to the highest level since Nov. 13, 2023, on an intraday basis, reflecting the rate worries of traders. The negativity was to some extent mitigated by UnitedHealth Group, Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) positive earnings.
The Dow snapped a six-session losing streak and yet closed only modestly higher.

Insights From Analysts:
With Powell signaling on Tuesday that a rate cut may not materialize this year, an analyst said the market would be better off discounting the possibility. Jamie Cox, Managing Partner at Harris Financial Group, said, &#8220;Markets need to focus on the fact that rates are sufficiently restrictive, instead of how many cuts are in the pipeline.&#8221;
Fund manager Louis Navellier expects a strong earnings season this time due to a resilient consumer and strong economy. &#8220;Once stock indexes and interest rates stabilize, and geopolitical risks subside, solid earnings should bring money in from the sidelines,&#8221; he said. The fund manager sees a 200-point or 4% drop in the S&amp;P 500 as an attractive buying opportunity.&nbsp;
Upcoming Economic Data:
The Energy Information Administration will release its customary weekly petroleum status report at 10:30 a.m. EDT.
The Treasury is set to auction 20-year bonds at 1 p.m. EDT.
The Fed will release the Beige Book report at 2 p.m. EDT, which contains anecdotal evidence of economic conditions in the 12 Fed districts.
Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester is scheduled to speak at 5:30 p.m. EDT and &nbsp;Fed Governor Michelle Bowman at 7:15 p.m. EDT.
