On Tuesday, Oragenics Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OGEN#NYSE">OGEN</a>) said it has completed a key study for its new concussion drug, ONP-002.
What Happened: A recent study shows that the drug successfully targets areas inside the nose connected to the brain, making the drug more likely to reach and treat the brain after a concussion.
In the study, ONP-002 was tested using a nasal spray device. The goal of intranasal casting studies is to identify where the drug lands inside a cast metal anatomical model of the interior nose.
The model is standard for intranasal drug delivery and is accepted by the FDA as a surrogate for the actual nasal passage.
The results showed that the drug spreads well in the nose areas, where it can be quickly absorbed into the brain.

Why It Matters: Oragenics is now preparing to move forward with human testing (Phase 2) in patients who come to the emergency room with a concussion, aiming to give the first dose of the drug within 8 hours of the injury.
&#8220;In preparing for our Phase 2 study, we wanted to study whether our nasal spray device would give ONP-002 an increased chance of reaching the brain quickly after a concussion. The study results are promising, as they show the drug targets areas in the nose directly linked to the brain. This should increase the chances of the drug being effective in treating concussion and reduces the likelihood of it being swallowed, which is another encouraging sign,&#8221; said Michael Redmond, President of Oragenics.
In August, Oragenics completed a study that indicates ONP-002 does <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40251272/exclusive-oragenics-concussion-drug-clears-fda-required-cardiotoxicity-testing-planning-for-phase" rel="noreferrer noopener">not cause cardiotoxicity</a>.
A concussion&nbsp;is a mild traumatic brain injury that affects brain function, with an estimated 69 million cases reported annually worldwide.
Long-term symptoms can develop in up to 20% of patients. Currently, there is no pharmaceutical treatment for concussions.
Price Action: OGEN stock closed at $0.39 on Monday.

Domino&#8217;s Pizza, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPZ#NYSE">DPZ</a>) will release earnings results for its third quarter before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DPZ/earnings">opening bell on Thursday, Oct. 10</a>.
According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company projects to report revenue of $1.1 billion for the recent quarter. Analysts expect the fast food chain to report quarterly earnings at $3.63 per share. That&#8217;s down from $4.18 per share in the year-ago period. 
With the recent buzz around Domino&#8217;s Pizza, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, Domino&#8217;s offers an annual dividend yield of 1.47%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of $1.51 per share ($6.04 a year).
To earn $500 monthly from Domino&#8217;s, start with a yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Domino&#8217;s $6.04 dividend: $6,000 / $6.04 = 993 shares
So, an investor would need to own approximately $407,130 worth of Domino&#8217;s, or 993 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $6.04 = 199 shares, or $81,590 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
Price Action: Shares of Domino&#8217;s fell by 3.6% to close at $410 on Monday.

PureStream Powers Up: Nasdaq's Cutting-Edge Trading Tech Eyes European Expansion

The much-anticipated announcement of plans to stimulate China&#8217;s flagging economy failed to meet investor expectations, causing a short-lived stock market rally.
What Happened: After the Golden Week holiday, shares surged by over 10% as trading resumed. However, the excitement was fleeting. The Shanghai Composite Index in mainland China ended the day 4.6% higher, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong fell by 9.4% after a press conference by China&#8217;s economic planners, as per a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41213691/fast-and-furious-rally-pushes-chinese-stocks-to-double-s-p-500-performance-year-to-date">report</a> by the BBC on Tuesday.
Investors were left seeking more specifics on how the government plans to stimulate economic growth. 
This comes after investors poured $5.2 billion in new assets last week following Beijing&#8217;s announcement of stimulus measures, Reuters reported on Tuesday
Data from Morningstar reveals that the $5.2 billion inflow for the week ending Oct. 4 contrasts sharply with an average weekly outflow of $83 million in 2024. This also marked the largest one-day rally in Chinese stocks since 2008.
Funds like Blackrock&#8217;s iShares China Large-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXI#NYSE">FXI</a>) and KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KWEB#NYSE">KWEB</a>) saw significant inflows. However, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, on Tuesday during the pre-market hours, FXI was trading 8.37% lower while KWEB was down by 10.14%.
Similarly, iShares MSCI China ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHI#NASDAQ">MCHI</a>) was down by 10.59% while Franklin FTSE China ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLCH#NYSE">FLCH</a>) was 9.26% down.

Why It Matters: The recent surge in Chinese stocks has been described as a &#8220;fast and furious rally,&#8221; with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41213691/fast-and-furious-rally-pushes-chinese-stocks-to-double-s-p-500-performance-year-to-date">MSCI China Index</a> climbing over 35% between Sep. 24 and Oct. 7. This rally has outpaced other major global markets and more than doubled the year-to-date gains of the S&amp;P 500. The rise has been fueled by aggressive monetary easing policies and renewed government efforts to stabilize the property sector.
However, the Chinese government&#8217;s recent announcement of a 200 billion yuan ($28 billion) stimulus aimed at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41223117/alibaba-tencent-jd-com-and-baidu-slide-over-8-as-chinas-28b-stimulus-boost-misses-the-mark">local investment projects</a> fell short of market expectations, leading to a sharp sell-off in major tech stocks. Despite this, officials remain confident in achieving economic and social development goals, as stated by Zheng Shanjie, chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Shares of US-listed Chinese stocks are trading lower after Chinese planning officials reportedly fell short of investor stimulus expectations.

What Happened: The mission was previously slated to undock from the ISS no earlier than Oct.10.
Crew-8 mission includes four members: NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, as well as Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin. The four arrived at the ISS in March 2024 and have spent over 218 days in space. 
NASA said on Monday that the mission is now expected to undock from the space station no earlier than 3:05 a.m. EDT on Sunday. Mission managers will continue to monitor weather conditions in the meantime, the agency added. 
Why It Matters: Currently there are multiple astronauts on the ISS including those who went as part of the Crew-8 mission, as part of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41088324/spacexs-falcon-9-rocket-grounded-3rd-time-in-3-months-launch-put-on-hold-as-company-hunts-for-root-c">Crew-9 last month</a>, two who went to ISS aboard Boeing&#8217;s Starliner in June, and three astronauts who went to the ISS aboard the Soyuz MS-26 in September.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Looking at short-squeeze stocks in this risk-off environment may seem a little crazy to most investors. Indeed, I agree with you. However, it could still make sense to have some &ldquo;fun money&rdquo; in high-risk, high-reward picks. That&rsquo;s because such stocks provide big potential payoffs, if the economic cycle shifts. Certain stocks may deliver triple-digit returns or more and &ldquo;moon&rdquo; if the stars align just right.



I believe it&rsquo;s wise to at least have these opportunities on your radar. While I won&rsquo;t be looking at stocks plagued by dilution or mounting losses, I do think a handful are poised for jaw-dropping rallies thanks to their high short interest and potential catalysts.



Of course, short squeezes are inherently risky and unpredictable. Timing is everything. However, with the potential for a new macroeconomic environment on the horizon, conditions may soon be ripe for bears to get caught offsides on the wrong stocks. Let&rsquo;s dive in!



<h2>Upstart Holdings (UPST)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/upst1600-300x169.png" alt="Person holding smartphone with logo of U.S. fintech company Upstart Network Inc. (UPST) on screen in front of website. Focus on phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/upst-stock-quote/">UPST</a>) is an AI lending platform that partners with banks and credit unions to provide consumer loans. The company has faced challenges recently due to high interest rates and a tough macro environment. However, I believe Upstart&rsquo;s long-term prospects remain strong.



I&rsquo;ve been bullish on Upstart and called it a short-squeeze candidate last week. This call has paid off so far after the company&rsquo;s recent earnings report, with the stock up around 40% since. However, it&rsquo;s important to remember that I&rsquo;ll probably be more wrong than right in the near-term due to the nature of short-squeeze candidates. Regardless, I think Upstart offers comparatively less risk at current levels.



Most of Upstart&rsquo;s problems stem from high interest rates, which cause borrowing to slow and banks to be skeptical about using new technologies. However, as we enter a new cycle, I think UPST stock should recover in the long-run, with or without a potential short squeeze along the way. Upstart <a href="https://www.investing.com/analysis/heres-why-upstart-stock-is-up-48-after-earnings-200650766" target="_blank">reported Q2 revenue of $128 million</a> and expects Q3 revenue of approximately $150 million. The company also launched its new M18 credit pricing model and expanded product offerings.

<h2>Trupanion (TRUP)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/trup1600-300x169.jpg" alt="a veterinarian holding a small white dog"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Trupanion (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/trup-stock-quote/">TRUP</a>) provides medical insurance for cats and dogs across the U.S., Canada, and Australia. The company recently announced strong Q1 2024 results, with total <a target="_blank" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trupanion-inc-trup-q1-2024-215630093.html">revenue surging 19% year-over-year to $306.1 million</a> and subscription revenue jumping 22%.



Due to social and demographic trends, I&rsquo;m quite bullish on pet stocks over the long-run. Most young Americans do not wish to have children and prefer pets instead. Regardless of how you look at that, I think pet stocks could benefit from this trend over time.



Trupanion is one such stock to consider in this space, and is also one that&rsquo;s seen some pretty strong growth. The company is pretty close to profitability right now and is expected to almost break even next year, along with low double-digit growth. Analysts estimate Trupanion will generate sales of $1.26 billion in 2024, up 13.5% from 2023.



The huge amount of short selling here is unwarranted as the stock looks reasonably priced and is almost profitable. If Trupanion surprises investors, any surge could lead to panic that drives a short squeeze among bears. The stock recently hit a 52-week high of $37.05 amid its recent impressive growth, even as its founder, Darryl Rawlings, stepped down as CEO.



<h2>Advantage Solutions (ADV)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/tech1600e-300x169.jpg" alt="A man working on digital tablet and smart city with binary, html computer code on screen. representing tech stocks"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Advantage Solutions (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/adv-stock-quote/">ADV</a>) provides business solutions to consumer goods companies and retailers. Under CEO Dave Peacock&rsquo;s leadership, the company has been simplifying its portfolio, divesting non-core businesses, and investing in its core capabilities over the past year. In Q2 2024, <a href="https://advantagesolutions.net/news/advantage-solutions-reaffirms-full-year-2024-guidance-charts-progress-on-strategic-transformation/#:~:text=Advantage%20Solutions%20today%20reported%20second,its%20sampling%20and%20demonstration%20business." target="_blank">Advantage reported revenues of $873 million</a>, a 1% increase year-over-year, excluding the impact of the deconsolidation of its European joint venture. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $89.9 million, up slightly from the prior-year quarter.



I believe Advantage Solutions could benefit significantly in this current environment. That is, if certain retailers increase their spending in the coming quarters to drive efficiency. After an expected dip this year, the company is poised to return to profitability in 2025. However, you should be aware of the substantial risk with ADV stock, as we&rsquo;re currently experiencing a market selloff and potentially heading into a recession. This could lead retailers to reduce their marketing budgets, hurting this company&rsquo;s valuation.



That said, if Advantage continues to execute well and achieves profitability next year as anticipated, this is a stock that might catch short sellers off guard.
