Shares of broader tech companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

CDW's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDW#NYSE">CDW</a>) short percent of float has risen 23.75% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.46 million shares sold short, which is 2.97% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.99 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.

<h3>CDW Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742570121_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for CDW 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 CDW'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>, CDW's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.12%, 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>

Looking Into CDW's Recent Short Interest

Tariffs, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">federal spending cuts</a> and CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) slowdowns are shaking up the hardware and networking sector. JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee weighs in on which stocks are best equipped to weather the storm.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs: Who's Feeling The Heat?</h2>
Companies loaded with software-driven hardware are dodging the worst of the tariff blow, while commoditized IT hardware players are absorbing rising costs. Networking leaders like Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) and Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) have an edge, given their ability to pass costs down the chain.

Meanwhile, PC and server makers face tighter margins, with limited room to hike prices without losing customers.
Cisco's CFO has already factored in the tariff impact, while Arista's team says they've been planning for China risks ahead of time. The wildcard? 
Storage and networking equipment appear largely insulated, but competitive server pricing could make cost pass-throughs a challenge.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Federal Spending Cuts: Who's At Risk?</h2>
A slowdown in government IT budgets might hit device makers harder than infrastructure players. Cisco, with more than 5% of revenue tied to federal spending, could see near-term pressure, but JPMorgan suggests long-term benefits from federal tech modernization. 
Channel partners like CDW (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDW#NASDAQ">CDW</a>) also have notable exposure but are downplaying risks for now.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CoWoS Cuts: Nvidia's Supply Chain Feels The Squeeze</h2>
Recent CoWoS order cuts by Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) are reshuffling supplier valuations. The biggest impact? 
Nvidia-linked players like Fabrinet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FN#NYSE">FN</a>), Amphenol Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APH#NYSE">APH</a>) and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) could face multiple compression, even if revenue estimates remain intact.
Cisco and Arista look relatively shielded from tariff pain, Nvidia's supply chain faces valuation headwinds and federal spending concerns might be a short-term roadblock for key players.
With hardware margins under pressure, JPMorgan's take is clear: software-rich and infrastructure-driven companies have the best shot at staying ahead.

Stocks Rebound, Google Eyes Worst Drop In A Year, Gold Shatters Fresh Records: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

CDW's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDW#NYSE">CDW</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.8% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.15 million shares sold short, which is 2.69% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.09 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/">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.

<h3>CDW Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738780223_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for CDW 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 CDW'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>, CDW's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.67%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
