Short sellers — investors who profit from falling stock prices — are seeing a surge in success in 2025 .

They gained $159 billion in paper profits over just six trading sessions as escalating trade tensions triggered a drop of more than 10% in the US stock market.

Short sellers could profit from the sharp intraday market swings that wiped out trillions in value.

Another $46 billion in new short bets were added in April , raising the risk that these bearish positions could intensify the market’s next major move, particularly if the current downturn reverses and pushes major indexes higher.

Flowers Foods, Inc. posted revenue of $1.11 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024 , which showed a 1.6% decline from the same period last year .

The company’s quarterly dividend comes in at $ 0.24 per share and has a dividend yield of 5.43% , as of April 28 .

In 2024 , FLO achieved its 22nd consecutive year of dividend growth.
