While hedge fund Muddy Waters revealed a bet against payment processor dLocal , other short sellers appear to be eyeing several fintech companies. S3 Partners examined 66 stocks in the FINX fintech ETF for CNBC Pro and found $15.25 billion betting against the basket of stocks in total. Others might see structural headwinds for a company before it is fully reflected in the share price. Coinbase had a total of 27.53 million shares – or 18% of free-floating shares – betting against the share price. The fintech company, led by Twitter's co-founder Jack Dorsey, has seen its shares decline by 56.94% over this year.

It's a sign of how powerful this recent market rally has become. While long buying has been a factor in the rally, "I am seeing short covering recently as the market is surging," he told me. In the second week of November, he saw traders cover $22.1 billion in short bets on S & P 500 stocks. "It is now consensus the Fed will be almost done in the next few months, that China's zero Covid [policy] will be eased, so that is priced into the market," Johnston told me. "If you think the upside for stocks is only 4% [in the near future], you might as well buy a money market fund," Johnston said.

☆ A surplus of fintechs focused on wealth management has financial advisors scrambling to stitch them together
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-11 | by ( Asia Martin | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

RIAs are solving the problem of limited tech integration by creating their own overlay tools. An abundance of wealth management-focused fintechs to choose from combined with a lack of integration between systems has led some advisory firms scrambling to piece them all together. In turn, the company decided to make that a value proposition by taking customers' data and entering it into a database for them. Once those customers created a Redshift data warehouse, they then could connect with Orion's warehouse and pull their data from there. Orion met with AWS' strategic-partnerships team and walked them through their use cases of applying Redshift technology.

PREVIEWMany companies that have shifted their enterprise-technology tools to the cloud in recent years are similarly seeking to reduce their cloud costs, especially in the market downturn. Corporate cloud spending will moderate from recent highs, analysts say, as companies seek more discipline in that spending. “That reduced a significant amount of our storage costs right off the bat,” Mr. Nagle said. Airbnb, one of Amazon’s largest cloud customers according to Amazon, also worked with the cloud provider to figure out what it was overpaying for. By putting its spending toward lower-cost cloud services it uses more often, Airbnb is allocating its cloud budget “in a smarter way,” Mr. Bala said.

Companies across the economy are storing massive amounts of data and across more categories. Databricks removes the hassle of configuring and updating third-party software to perform data analytics, and doesn't require clients to copy data into its software in order to work with it. Instead, data can stay where it already is, such as in Amazon Web Services' widely used S3 object-storage system, and Databricks can still crunch the numbers. The 2022 Top Startups for the Enterprise list is powered and inspired by the members of CNBC's Technology Executive Council (TEC). Learn more about CNBC Councils.

☆ This Chinese electric carmaker's stock could rally by more than 260%, Citi says
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-01 | by ( Ganesh Rao | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Citi says BYD is one of its "top" buy ideas among Chinese stocks and expects shares in the automaker to soar by more than 260% over the next 12 months. Jeff Chung, an equity analyst at Citi, reiterated his buy rating and price target on the stock after the company announced earnings on Oct. 28. Chung's price target for BYD is significantly higher than other analysts'. The median price target from six analysts covering the stock gives the stock a potential upside of 60.8%, according to FactSet data. Citi analysts recommended investors in China adopt a "barbell strategy" — a mix of conservative stocks to protect against downside risks and "high-conviction growth stocks" — in their base case scenario.

☆ Meme stock rally could be sign that investor appetite for risk is returning

The stock's Monday volume, which stood at over 10 million shares after the close, far exceeded the 506,000 shares investors have shorted, he said. "There is no way today’s price move is due to a short squeeze, it is virtually all long buying pressure," Dusaniwsky said. Many meme stocks have been pounded this year as the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy, sapping investors’ appetite for risk. Shares of GameStop Corp (GME.N), which put meme stocks into the spotlight with its epic rally in 2021, are down 24% for the year to date while AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (AMC.N) has fallen 60%. "If that’s the case that would further tamp down Treasury yields and create a tailwind for equities."

Last month, Neil Arora, a veteran infrastructure dealmaker from Macquarie, joined KKR as the head of its energy transition team for Asia Pacific.

Oct 21 (Reuters) - Investors have been adding to bets that Credit Suisse's shares still have further to fall after a social media storm forced a fresh look at the Swiss lender's problems. Credit Suisse declined to comment. In terms of financial firms subject to the highest amount of short selling, Credit Suisse currently stands fourth behind investment firms T. Rowe Price, BlackRock and Blackstone, according to data specialist FIS. Reuters Graphics"Retail investors were all over developments in Credit Suisse," said Ivan Ćosović, founder of data group Breakout Point, which tracks the sentiment of retail traders on platforms like Reddit. Credit Suisse was the subject of a flood of unsubstantiated rumours and critical memes including titles such as: "Everything is Fine?"

☆ China's tech stocks are tumbling, but short sellers have a different sector in their sights
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-11 | by ( Ganesh Rao | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Chinese tech stocks continue to be beaten down , but short sellers appear to be targeting another sector known for its high valuations: real estate. ETFs tracking the MSCI China Real Estate index, such as CHIR , have declined by more than 35% this year. Short sellers of China's real estate sector already have profits on paper of $2.6 billion year-to-date, according to S3's data. But although short sellers have been taking profits throughout the year, they've also kept taking new short positions in stocks that haven't fallen by as much. As the downturn in the real-estate sector is predicted to last longer, "short sellers should continue to be active," according to S3 Analytics.
