<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.

Cognizant Launches Neuro AI Platform Powered By NVIDIA To Accelerate Scalable Enterprise AI Adoption Across Industries

U.S. chip stocks, which enjoyed the spotlight during last year's AI investment boom, have taken a noticeable hit this year as investors shift focus to software companies—the emerging engine of AI value creation.&nbsp;
Tariff‐driven volatility and a dimming demand outlook, compounded by the emergence of lower‐cost AI models from China's DeepSeek, have put pressure on semiconductor shares.&nbsp;
For example, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has fallen about 6% year‐to‐date, and industry leader Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has dropped nearly 14% from its recent December high.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Software Momentum Rising</h2>
Meanwhile, the software sector is showing robust gains. Companies such as Atlassian (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEAM#NASDAQ">TEAM</a>), CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>), Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), and Cognizant (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CTSH#NASDAQ">CTSH</a>) have surged between 7% and 19% this year, reflecting growing investor confidence in AI-driven applications.&nbsp;
Capital flows further illustrate this shift. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (CBOE: IGV) has attracted over $1.87 billion in inflows through Feb. 28, while both the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>)&nbsp; and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) have seen over $1 billion in outflows each.&nbsp;
In 2024, the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF experienced significant inflows, including a $277 million addition on Oct. 14. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF also saw substantial growth, with a 40.4% year-to-date increase as of Dec. 23, driven by rising demand for AI applications and cloud computing.
Trending: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a>

Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist at LPL Financial, explained that "the shift is a natural progression for AI investing—as the use cases for AI evolve, the true revenue drivers are emerging in software applications."&nbsp;
In addition, Morgan Stanley equity analyst Keith Weiss <a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/insights/podcasts/thoughts-on-the-market/genai-profit-2025-joe-moore-keith-weiss">said</a>, "We're now starting to see the ascendancy of the software part of the equation, as companies begin to monetize their AI solutions effectively."
Yet, caution remains regarding the indispensable role of semiconductor hardware. According to <a href="https://www.investors.com/news/technology/ai-stocks-nvidia-stock-software-companies/">Investors Business Daily</a>, while software revenues offer stability, the performance of Nvidia's GPUs is critical for powering AI, and no clever software can fully compensate for a basic lack of processing power.&nbsp;

Goldman Sachs analyst Ryan Hammond said, according to <a href="https://www.investors.com/news/technology/ai-stocks-nvidia-stock-software-companies">Investor's Business Daily</a>, that "the AI trade will broaden and that stocks with AI-enabled revenues offer better risk/reward for new capital than those involved in infrastructure"
Escalating Sino‑U.S. trade tensions and export restrictions add further uncertainty to the chip sector, prompting many to see software investments as a more stable, long-term opportunity.&nbsp;

Insights From Analysts
According to the Yardeni Research&#8217;s QuickTakes by Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein, &#8220;Anything is possible in Trump World.&#8221;
&#8220;We can&#8217;t rule out the possibility that a bear market started on Feb. 20, the day after the S&amp;P 500 rose to a record high. It could be like the &#8216;flash crashes&#8217; that occurred during 1962 and 1987. It could happen quickly and reverse just as quickly. So the selloff could provide buying opportunities, especially in overvalued names that are now less so,&#8221; the note stated.
According to the note, Trump administration&#8217;s rapid-fire policy initiatives are stress-testing the economy, which has been remarkably resilient so far, and raising fears of a recession.
The current bull market, which began in October 2022, has entered its third year. According to Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, it is normal to see some fluctuations in the third year of a bull market.

While the conflict around tariffs has raised the speculation of a slowdown and recession, Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates had a contrarian view. According to him, &#8220;The anxiety over tariffs may be holding back some consumers, but I want to assure you that I do not expect most tariffs to be inflationary. As an example, the tariffs that have been imposed on China are expected to be suppressed by Chinese deflation as well as a weak Chinese yuan.&#8221;
