<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

Peering Into Public Service Enterprise's Recent Short Interest

<p>The utilities sector has emerged as the top-performing sector within the S&amp;P 500 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">so far in 2024</a>.</p>
<p>As of Sept. 11, the <strong>Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>) has surged 22% year-to-date, outpacing all other sectors and even surpassing the technology sector – tracked by the <strong>Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) – by 9 percentage points.</p>
<p>This marks a significant turnaround for utilities, which trailed tech by 40 percentage points in 2023.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Drivers Behind The Utility Sector Surge</h3>
<p>The robust performance of utilities stocks in 2024 has caught many investors by surprise, especially given the broader market&#8217;s focus on growth sectors like technology in recent years. </p>
<p>&#8220;There is an undeniable defensive undertone here, as defensive stocks like utilities and consumer staples are leading the charge. The lack of momentum in the previously unstoppable &#8216;Magnificent 7&#8217; tech stocks could be signaling a shift in market sentiment,&#8221; analyst Michael Gayed.</p>
<p>This move toward defensive assets is particularly significant amid rising concerns over macroeconomic volatility and an increasingly unpredictable interest rate environment.</p>
<p>Bank of America recently raised its outlook for the utilities sector to Overweight, citing a combination of income and quality characteristics, which have become increasingly attractive as volatility rises.</p>
<p>&#8220;Client flows have suggested no love for the sector, but single stocks have begun to see inflows in recent weeks and ETF flows have begun to trend positively since the spring,&#8221; analysts at Bank of America highlighted.</p>
<p>&#8220;It's remarkable that the most defensive sector of the S&amp;P 500 has officially become the year&#8217;s top performer, despite the widespread consensus that the economy is doing well,&#8221; Otavio Costa, a macro strategist at Crescat Capital, said in a post on social media X.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Utilities Meet Rising Demand For AI-Driven Data Centers</h3>
<p>Indeed, a critical factor boosting the utilities sector is the rising demand for electricity tied to the growth of AI-linked data centers. </p>
<p>Carly Davenport, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, highlighted this trend in a note, saying, &#8220;Data center growth is starting to contribute meaningfully to power demand, and we've seen further positive revisions to the pipeline.&#8221;</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs estimates that data centers will be the largest driver of U.S. power demand growth, contributing around 90 basis points (bps) to the nation&#8217;s 2.4% power demand compound annual growth rate through 2030. </p>
<p>This increase in demand is expected to lead to incremental capital investments in transmission and generation capacity, potentially driving further upside for utilities stocks over the next several years.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top-Performing Utility Stocks in 2024</h3>
<p>Several utility companies have experienced outsized gains this year, driven by strong earnings, strategic investments, and sectoral tailwinds. Here&#8217;s a look at the top-performing utility stocks year-to-date through Sept. 11:</p>

This Under-The-Radar Defensive AI Sector Quietly Outperforms All Others, Despite Receiving 'No Love' From Investors

<p>B of A Securities  analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith   maintains Public Service Enterprise (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEG#NYSE">PEG</a>) with a Buy and raises the price target from $84 to $88.</p>

<p><strong>Public Service Enterprise Group, Inc.</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/peg#NYSE">PEG</a>) or PSEG&#39;s focus on renewable generation expansion is likely to bolster its footprint in the clean energy market. To enhance customer reliability, the company makes consistent investments in its infrastructure, strengthening its transmission and distribution system&#39;s resilience.</p>
<p>However, this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company faces risks like an unfavorable financial position and expenditure to remediate every manufactured gas plant (MGP) site, which acts as a headwind.</p>
<h2>PEG&#39;s Tailwinds</h2>
<p>PSEG has a capital investment plan of $18-$21 billion for 2024-2028 to constantly upgrade its infrastructure and expand its renewable generation portfolio. Its solid capital investment plan is estimated to bring in compounded annual rate base growth of 6-7.5% between 2024 and 2028.</p>
<p>In the clean energy space, the company is investing significantly in solar initiatives in utility-owned solar photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected systems. As of Dec. 31, 2023, the PSE&amp;G segment owned 158 MW DC of installed PV solar capacity throughout New Jersey.</p>
<p>PSEG is also expanding its footprint in the wind energy market. It is essential to note that the company has been granted various onshore transmission contracts by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to link customers with the offshore wind farms that are currently under development.</p>
<h2>Headwinds Faced by PSEG</h2>
<p>PSEG&#39;s segment, PSE&amp;G, has been collaborating with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to assess and remediate environmental conditions at its former MGP sites. As of June 30, 2024, 38 sites require remedial action, and PSE&amp;G estimates costs of $196-$215 million to complete all sites. Such an expenditure might hurt PSEG&#39;s operating results.</p>
<p>As of June 30, 2024, the company owed $18.42 billion in long-term debt. Its cash balance of $0.11 billion at the end of the second quarter fell short of its long-term debt levels and the current debt value of $2.98 billion. This shows that PSEG has a weak solvency position.</p>
<h2>PEG Stock Price Movement</h2>
<p>In the past six months, shares of PEG have risen 28.7% compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 20.8%.</p>

<h2>Stocks to Consider</h2>
<p>Some better-ranked stocks from the same industry are <strong>DTE Energy Company </strong>(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dte#NYSE">DTE</a>), <strong>The AES Corporation </strong>(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aes#NYSE">AES</a>) and <strong>NiSource Inc.</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ni#NYSE">NI</a>), each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present.</p>
<p>DTE Energy&#39;s long-term (three to five years) earnings growth rate is 8.1%. The company delivered an average earnings surprise of 0.77% in the last four quarters.</p>
<p>AES delivered an average earnings surprise of 19.18% in the last four quarters. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AES&#39; 2024 sales suggests an improvement of 3.6% from the prior-year reported figure.</p>
<p>NiSource&#39;s long-term earnings growth rate is 6%. The company delivered an average earnings surprise of 20.64% in the last four quarters.</p>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
