After struggling for most of this year, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is on a sustained uptrend. Short sellers, who hold a 4.28% short interest, will need to cover their bearish bet.
WBD stock has multiple inflection points ahead. Max, previously known as HBO, is accelerating its subscription growth internationally. DTC could achieve profitability next, too. In addition, customers may sign up for their TV distribution content through streaming services.

In Q3, Albemarle lost $9.45 a share (or $1.11 billion lost). The firm plans to compete with lithium prices at $12 to $15 per kg.
