Shares of technology stocks are trading lower amid an overall market reversal following Wednesday's surge.

Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) shares are trading lower, pulling back from a broad market surge on Wednesday that lifted stocks across the board. The company on Thursday announced that it received Department of Defense (DOD) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44733664/snowflake-achieves-department-of-defense-il5-authorization-furthering-position-as-the-trusted-ai-d">Impact Level 5 (IL5) authorization</a>.
What To Know: Snowflake on Thursday announced it received DOD IL5 Provisional Authorization on AWS GovCloud US-West. The authorization enables the company to offer solutions requiring the highest levels of protection for Controlled Unclassified Information.
In connection with the authorization, Snowflake will allow the DOD to leverage advanced data analytics and generate AI-driven insights on Snowflake&#8217;s platform. Snowflake noted that the announcement comes after the company expanded its government-focused operations with the launch of subsidiary Snowflake Public Sector, Inc. 
&#8220;The Department of Defense&#8217;s mission to enhance readiness and drive innovation demands secure, data-centric solutions. Achieving IL5 authorization underscores Snowflake&#8217;s commitment to providing these solutions to Servicemembers, customers, and industry partners,&#8221; said Matthew Rose, Head of Corporate Government Relations at Snowflake.
Snowflake listed several potential mission-critical applications for the company&#8217;s IL5 authorization including financial management, enterprise business operations, logistics and supply chain, cybersecurity and open source intelligence.

Snowflake shares are moving lower on Thursday, pulling back from a strong rally on Wednesday, driven by the Trump administration&#8217;s 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. The announcement came hours after President Donald Trump&#8217;s sweeping reciprocal tariffs went into effect.
Snowflake shares soared from around the $132 level to above $150 on Wednesday as the S&amp;P 500 recorded its largest one-day gain since 2008. Broader markets are pulling back Thursday following Wednesday&#8217;s strong surge. 
SNOW Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/snow">Snowflake stock</a> was down about 5.06% at $143.50 at the time of publication Thursday, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Snowflake's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.57% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 11.03 million shares sold short, which is 3.41% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.46 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>Snowflake Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744048831_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Snowflake 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 Snowflake'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>, Snowflake's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.87%, 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>

Shares of companies within the broader technology sector are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) has been one of the most volatile AI stocks this year. After surging nearly 400% in 2024, the stock has struggled in recent months, dropping 25% from its all-time high <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR">reached in mid-February. </a>
What To Know: Palantir has benefited from growing demand for its AI-powered data analytics platforms, particularly among government agencies and large enterprises. The company's revenue growth remains strong, with management projecting a 36% increase in the first quarter. However, some analysts believe this estimate may be conservative, as Palantir has a track record of setting expectations lower to deliver consistent revenue beats.
Even with this growth, Palantir's stock price has been a point of concern. The stock currently trades at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 77, a level that requires extreme revenue acceleration to justify. For comparison, most software companies trade between 10 and 20 times sales. At its current valuation, Palantir would need to triple its revenue annually to maintain its stock price, an unlikely scenario given its current growth trajectory.
Ai Outlook: The AI investment landscape is also shifting. While businesses continue to integrate AI solutions, spending trends are becoming more scrutinized. 
Investors who piled into Palantir during last year's AI boom are now questioning whether the company can sustain its momentum. If revenue growth falls short or macroeconomic headwinds intensify, Palantir's stock could see further downside.
Market Overview: Market-wide weakness in high-growth tech stocks has also weighed on Palantir. Other AI-related names, including C3.ai (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AI#NYSE">AI</a>) and Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), have seen similar pullbacks, reflecting broader concerns about valuations in the sector. While Palantir remains a leader in AI-driven analytics, its current stock price leaves little room for error.
The next few quarters may be crucial in determining whether Palantir can justify its high valuation. If the company continues to beat growth expectations and expand its commercial customer base, investor confidence may stabilize. However, if growth stalls or macroeconomic risks intensify, the stock could remain under pressure.
PLTR Price Action: Palantir shares closed up 3.27% at $87.45 at publication Wednesday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>
