Concentrix's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNXC#NYSE">CNXC</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.74% since its last report.

<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 Concentrix has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Concentrix'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>, Concentrix's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.06%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Concentrix?

With interest rates remaining at their highest levels in over two decades, and with U.S. Treasury bonds comfortably exceeding a 4% yield, an increasing number of investors are turning their attention to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-corporate-bonds">realm of corporate bonds. </a>
In this landscape, they seek not only promising yield opportunities but also the strategic advantage of diversifying away from equity investments.
The Financial Times recently reported that inflows into corporate bond funds have surged to $22.8 billion in 2024, marking the first positive start to a year since 2019. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Corporate Bonds: Investment Grade Vs. High Yield</h3>
Corporate bonds come in two main types: investment-grade and high-yield. Investment-grade bonds are issued by financially stable companies, while high-yield (or speculative grade) bonds come from riskier firms but offer higher returns.
Rating agencies like S&amp;P, Fitch and Moody&#8217;s determine which category a bond falls into based on the issuer&#8217;s ability to repay debts. Ratings range from AAA (very safe) to D (in default).
For example, companies like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Eli Lilly Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) are rated as investment grade. 
Conversely, firms like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>), Office Property Income Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPI#NYSE">OPI</a>) and Navient Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAVI#NASDAQ">NAVI</a>) belong to the speculative-grade world.

The cutoff between investment-grade and high-yield is at the BB+ rating. Anything below BB+ is considered high yield, while BBB- or higher is investment-grade.
In general, the riskier the bond, the higher the potential return. Investment-grade bonds tend to offer lower yields because they are safer bets, with stronger financial health and better chances of repayment.
However, even within the realm of investment-grade bonds, there are opportunities to find attractive yields from companies with solid fundamentals. 
This allows investors to earn better returns without taking on excessive risk, compared to investing solely in ultra-safe U.S. Treasuries.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Expectations:
<ul>
<li>Second quarter reported revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.325 billion to $2.372 billion. Based on current exchange rates, our expectations assume an approximately 160-basis point negative impact of foreign exchange rates compared with the prior year period. Our guidance implies pro forma constant currency revenue growth for the second quarter in the range of 1% to 3%.</li>
<li>Operating income is expected to be in the range of $161 million to $163 million and non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of $320 million to $330 million.</li>
<li>Non-GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $2.55 to $2.70, assuming approximately 65.5 million diluted common shares outstanding and approximately 4% of net income attributable to participating securities.</li>
<li>The effective tax rate is expected to approximate 26% to 27%.</li>
</ul>
Full Year Fiscal 2024 Expectations:
<ul>
<li>Full year reported revenue is expected to be in the range of $9.510 billion to $9.700 billion. Based on current exchange rates, our expectations assume an approximately 70-basis point negative impact of foreign exchange rates compared with the prior year. Our guidance implies pro forma constant currency revenue growth for the full year in the range of 1% to 3%.</li>
<li>Operating income is expected to be in the range of $770 million to $800 million and non-GAAP operating income is expected to be in the range of $1,390 million to $1,450 million.</li>
<li>Non-GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $11.69 to $12.50, assuming approximately 65.3 million diluted common shares outstanding and approximately 4% of net income attributable to participating securities.</li>
<li>The effective tax rate is expected to approximate 26% to 27%.</li>
<li>We expect to repurchase $100 million of our common stock over the final three quarters of fiscal 2024. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The Company believes that a quantitative reconciliation of the non-GAAP EPS outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to (a) the inability to forecast future changes in acquisition contingent consideration, which is based, in part, on the future trading price of the Company's common stock, and (b) the inability to forecast future foreign currency losses (gains), net included in other expense (income), net. For the same reason, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which may have a material impact on the Company's GAAP results.
