<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.

Quantum Computing Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QUBT#NASDAQ">QUBT</a>): One of the hottest sectors in 2024 and early 2025 for investors has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42879725/nvidia-ceo-sends-quantum-stocks-lower-poll-finds-over-50-pick-rigetti-or-skip-for-2025">been quantum computing</a>. After a strong performance in 2024, Quantum Computing Inc saw shares fall on comments from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and a short report. The Capybara Research <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43052999/quantum-computing-stock-drops-over-3-during-friday-premarket-amid-fraud-allegations">alleges </a>Quantum Computing is using misleading press releases that exaggerate the company's businesses.
"Quantum Deception. QUBT Is a rampant fraud. We are short and think shareholders will be left with nothing when all is done," Capybara Research said.
Huang sent shares of stocks in the sector lower recently when he said that quantum computing applications could be 20 years away. Nvidia later announced its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43001201/nvidia-announces-first-ever-quantum-day-at-gtc-2025-days-after-jensen-huang-said-quantum-computing-is-20-years-away">first-ever quantum computing day</a> and a Microsoft executive<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42998134/qubt-qbts-up-12-rgti-gains-3-in-wednesday-premarket-quantum-computing-stocks-gain-momentum-after-microsoft-says-we-are-right-on-the-cusp-of-seeing-quantum-computers-solve-meaningful-problems"> shared positive commentary</a> on businesses preparing to be "quantum ready" by 2025.
In a recent Benzinga reader poll, Quantum Computing ranked second among four stocks in the sector that investors would most want to buy for 2025 with 24% of the vote. Beating Quantum Computing was Rigetti Computing Inc. with 33% of the vote.

Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFM#NASDAQ">SFM</a>): The specialty grocery retailer returns to the Stock Market Index after an appearance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/11/41856335/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-42">back in November</a>. The company, which has over 400 stores in 23 states, will report fourth-quarter financial results likely in February. Analysts expect the company to show earnings per share and revenue growth on a year-over-year basis. The company has beaten analyst estimates for both earnings per share and revenue in three straight quarters. Investors may be looking to the specialty retailer as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could become the next leader of the Department of Health and Human Services under Trump's administration. Kennedy could push for healthier food options for consumers, which could benefit retailers specializing in healthy food options like Sprouts.

Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>): The media company saw strong interest from readers during the week, which comes as the company has some good news and could also be on watch as an enemy of Trump. Comcast broadcast one of the opening round games of the 2024 NFL Playoffs with the match between the Washington Commanders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/01/43013529/amazon-scores-record-with-steelers-ravens-nfl-playoffs-stream-how-game-stacks-up-with-other-media-streamers">having an average</a> of 29 million viewers. Comcast will also air the second-round matchup of the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Jan. 19 at 3 p.m. ET. Comcast and its stock could also be drawing attention with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42798568/the-death-of-net-neutrality-winners-losers-and-what-it-means-for-the-future-of-the-interne">death of net neutrality</a>, which could benefit the company.
Comcast also caught the attention of Trump recently with the incoming president threatening the company after late-night talk show host Seth Meyers criticized him.
"Comcast should pay a BIG price," Trump said, as reported by <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/01/trump-seth-meyers-nbc-comcast-1236256452/">Deadline</a>.
Trump blasted Comcast previously and threatened to pull their FCC license. Trump's appointee to lead the FCC is Brendan Carr, who is considering challenging networks like Comcast's NBC for featuring Kamala Harris in a "Saturday Night Live" episode and not providing equal time to Trump.
