AES's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) short percent of float has fallen 7.71% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 28.15 million shares sold short, which is 4.55% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.26 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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 AES has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing AES'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, AES's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.25%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Jefferies Downgrades AES to Hold, Lowers Price Target to $10

Trading in The AES Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) is quiet on Friday. But that may not be the case for long, as the stock<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43982372/wall-streets-most-accurate-analysts-give-their-take-on-3-utilities-stocks-delivering-high-dividend-yields-4"> is testing resistance.</a>
When a stock is at resistance it tends to break out and head higher or reverse and head lower. It tends not to stay at the resistance for too long. This is why our team of expert traders has made AES our Stock of the Day.
Resistance is a price level or zone where there is a large amount of sell interest.
If a stock is trending higher, there aren't enough sell orders to fill all of the buy orders. Traders and investors who wish to purchase shares are forced to outbid each other and pay premiums. This forces the stock into an uptrend.
At a resistance level, the tide turns. The large amount of sell orders can fill all of the buy orders. Traders and investors can purchase as many shares as they wish without worrying about pushing the price higher.
Sometimes, stocks reverse at a resistance level and trend lower.
This happens due to anxious sellers. They know that the buyers will go to whoever will sell them shares at the lowest price. As a result, they reduce the price they are willing to sell at. Other anxious sellers see this and do the same thing.

This can result in a snowball effect that forces the price lower.
But sometimes the buyers eventually overpower the sellers. The resistance breaks, and the shares head higher.
A breakout tends to be a bullish dynamic. It means that the people who created the resistance with their sell orders have either finished or canceled their orders. With this large amount of supply taken off the market buyers may have to force the price higher to draw sellers back in.
This can create an uptrend.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="563" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/14113819/aes-1024x563.png" alt="" class="wp-image-825243" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/14113819/aes-1024x563.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/14113819/aes-300x165.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/14113819/aes-768x423.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/14113819/aes.png 1485w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
As you can see on the chart, there is resistance for AES around the $12.35 level. Support levels often convert into resistance levels and that's the case here.
Some traders would consider a market-neutral strategy. They would buy both a call and a put option.
If the stock moves higher, they would make money on the call and lose on the put. If it moves lower, the opposite is true. But they are confident that their profit will be larger than the loss.

Technicals

Stock Of The Day: AES Hovers Near Resistance — Will It Break Out Or Reverse?

A fresh wave of selling sent the S&amp;P 500 spiraling into technical correction territory on Thursday, falling 10% from its all-time high, as trade tensions escalated following President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">latest tariff threats.</a>
In a volatile session Thursday, the S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – closed at 5,521 points, marking a 10% drop from its Feb. 19 peak of 6,147.
The index now sits 3.8% below its 200-day moving average of 5,738, a level many traders consider a key threshold. 
Only 37% of S&amp;P 500 stocks are trading above this moving average, the lowest proportion since November 2023—a sign of broad-based market weakness.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trade War Jitters Shake Markets</h3>
The sell-off accelerated after Trump took to his Truth Social platform, threatening to impose 200% tariffs on all European alcoholic products in response to the EU's decision to slap a 50% tariff on American whiskey.
Earlier this week, Canada announced 25% retaliatory duties on over $20 billion worth of U.S. goods, while the EU planned to impose counter-tariffs starting in April.
Despite the tariff turmoil, recent inflation data painted a more optimistic picture for the U.S. economy. Both consumer and producer prices have come in below expectations this year, reinforcing hopes that the Federal Reserve&#8217;s disinflation efforts are gaining traction. Markets are pricing in three Fed interest rate cuts this year. 
Yet, markets remain laser-focused on trade policy risks. Investors worry that escalating tariffs could undermine corporate earnings, disrupt supply chains, and reignite inflationary pressures—potentially forcing the Fed to rethink its rate-cut trajectory.
