<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for AT&amp;T has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing AT&amp;T'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>, AT&amp;T's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.32%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Benchmark on NVDA: Nvidia had a "solid, but somewhat muted CES keynote," Acree said in a new investor note.
Acree described Huang&#8217;s keynote as a "master-class on the current state and direction of the AI industry." However, the announcements might have leaned too heavily on technical details, offering limited clarity for shareholders seeking a near-term outlook on the ramp of Blackwell and its next-generation GPU platform.
"We believe many investors were hoping for more concrete progress updates," Acree said.
The analyst highlighted the unveiling of the Nvidia 5000 series, focusing on AI agents and the Cosmos platform announcement for autonomous vehicles and robots.
Several automotive companies working with Nvidia were named during the keynote.
"With platforms spanning training in the cloud to simulation to compute in the car, NVIDIA's automotive vertical business is expected to grow to approximately $5 billion in fiscal year 2026."

Bank of America on NVDA: Huang's CES keynote showed Nvidia's AI dominance in the cloud, enterprise and consumer segments, Arya said in a new investor note.
Arya said highlights in the keynote were the Blackwell accelerators being in full production, expansion of AI reach with the Cosmos platform, automotive market growth, Nvidia-optimized open-source LLMs and a desk-sized personal AI supercomputer called Nvidia DIGITS.
"Nvidia continues to expand its well-optimized and targeted lineup of AI services for enterprise customers," Arya said.
The analyst said Nvidia is an "end-to-end AI shop," expanding its reach from cloud to enterprise and consumer segments.
The unveiling of the RTX 5000 series comes as competitor AMD did not announce its next-gen GPUs during its Monday keynote, despite many expecting a similar announcement, the analyst added.
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia stock is down 5.3% to $141.48 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $49.48 and $153.13. Nvidia stock is up 172% over the last year.

JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur shared key takeaways of a virtual meeting on Monday with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/mrvl/analyst-ratings">Marvell Technology, In</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/mrvl/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">c. </a>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>).
The analyst said the company is on track to significantly exceed its previous AI target of $2.5 billion in CY25, driven by strong performance in AI optical/copper networking products and two AI ASIC programs for AWS and Google.
The company is expanding into scale-up networking applications (within-rack connectivity) with solutions like active electrical cables (AEC), co-packaged optics (CPO), and linear pluggable optics (LPO), said the analyst.
Sur noted the Amazon partnership remained strong, with a clear path to multi-generational product wins.
Despite competitive noise around Amazon's 3nm AI compute ASIC program, the company expected no revenue disruption in CY26 and forecasts continued AI ASIC growth in both CY25 and CY26, added the analyst.
The analyst wrote that given the AI accelerator market&#8217;s significant growth since April 2024 and the increasing adoption of custom silicon, the company now viewed the $8 billion AI Custom ASICs revenue target for CY28 as conservative.
Sur further said Marvell's optical networking products, including the 800G PAM4 DSP and 1.6T PAM4 DSP, are seeing strong demand, with significant growth expected in DCI products.
The carrier and enterprise networking segments are on track for a $2 billion revenue run-rate, with continued growth through CY25 as shipping aligns with consumption trends, added the analyst.
Yesterday, the company unveiled its&nbsp;custom XPU architecture&nbsp;featuring <a target="_blank" href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/01/42820909/whats-going-on-with-marvell-technology-mrvl-stock" rel="noreferrer noopener">co-packaged optics technology</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Spear Alpha ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPRX#NASDAQ">SPRX</a>) and Segall Bryant &amp; Hamill Trust Segall Bryant &amp; Hamill Select Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USSE#NYSE">USSE</a>).

Barclays analyst Matt Miksic initiated coverage on Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVR#NASDAQ">AVR</a>) with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AVR/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Positive rating and a forecast of $22</a>.
The analyst notes that Anteris Technologies&#8217; DurAVR valve system is expected to become the second balloon-expandable transcatheter valve replacement (BEV TAVR) system by 2028
Clinicians show a clear preference for BEV TAVR systems over self-expanding (SEV) systems from Medtronic plc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDT#NYSE">MDT</a>) and Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABT#NYSE">ABT</a>).
The analyst points out that DurAVR, positioned as an emerging next-gen TAVR player, is on track to capture 4%-5% of the U.S. TAVR market by 2030.
Despite strong data from MDT in 2024, clinicians still favor balloon-expandable (BEV) TAVR systems, of which DurAVR is set to be the second.

The analyst estimates that in the U.S., around 130,000 isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) procedures are performed annually, out of about 550,000 patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis (ssAS). Additionally, 175,000 new ssAS patients are diagnosed each year, while 100,000 patients die annually due to lack of treatment.
Although TAVR market growth has slowed, the analyst sees the market as underpenetrated and views it as a promising target for the next-gen DurAVR platform.
In addition to its BEV delivery system, DurAVR offers superior hemodynamics and laminar blood flow, combining the best features of leading TAVR platforms for more favorable hemodynamics and a low-profile valve height.
Early clinical evidence suggests that DurAVR could outperform other leading TAVR platforms in areas such as hemodynamics, outcomes in valve-in-valve (VIV) procedures and potentially in long-term durability, thanks to the company&#8217;s proprietary ADAPT tissue technology, Miksic writes.
For FY25, the analyst estimates the company to report a loss of $(1.30) per share.
Price Action: AVR shares are trading higher by 2.67% to $5.760&nbsp;at last check Tuesday.

Trader Notes: As Bitcoin drops below the $100,000 mark, crypto trader Michael van de Poppe notes that the ongoing BTC chop could signal a consolidation phase. 
He <a href="https://x.com/CryptoMichNL/status/1876702282533757386">concluded</a>, &#8220;Correction over? Expect a market-wide bounce, with the strongest altcoins bouncing back the most.&#8221;
Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that the TD Sequential indicator is flashing a buy signal on the BTC hourly chart. 
If the $97,000 support holds, Bitcoin is likely to rebound. 
However, if it falls below this level, it could drop further to $92,000.

A dip to $85,000 may be expected if support is lost, but aggressive trades <a href="https://x.com/Morecryptoonl/status/1876689806920446201">should</a> be avoided until a reversal signal confirms support.

Bitcoin Dumps To $97,000 Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Follow Down: Analyst Says This Level Has To Hold To Avoid 'Dip To $92,000'

Barclays analyst Jeffrey A. Bernstein has outlined top themes to watch out for in the U.S. restaurants in 2025.
The restaurant industry, according to the analyst, is experiencing mixed results as it navigates a volatile environment heading into the third quarter of 2024.
A recent preview highlighted that many companies have struggled to meet expectations regarding same-store sales and earnings per share, noted the analyst.
Despite these challenges, most have shared optimistic outlooks on recent sales trends.
As 2024 progresses, the key focus remains the consumer outlook, which has been unpredictable. On a positive note, unemployment rates remain near record lows, and wages continue to rise, contributing to a healthy increase in real disposable income, the analyst added.
Inflation has also eased, allowing the Federal Reserve to slow down its rate changes, said the analyst.
However, the analyst warned that the cost of living, including high rent and basic expenses, continues to pressure consumers.
Consumer confidence has remained lower than pre-pandemic levels, and many restaurants are working to improve traffic by offering greater value in response to inflation concerns.
Commodity inflation, excluding coffee, has shown signs of normalization and December 2024 saw a year-on-year increase of around 16%, mainly driven by coffee prices, asserted the analyst.
Restaurants are expecting mid-single-digit inflation in 2025, assuming current prices hold and the industry is hoping for a more stable cost environment that can support margins amidst uncertain sales projections, added the analyst.
The analyst expressed concern about labor costs and said while wage inflation has slowed from the peaks seen during 2021 and 2022, December 2024 saw a year-on-year wage increase of 10.3%.
In menu pricing, restaurants are easing the aggressive price hikes seen in recent years and overall, the industry is moving towards smaller price increases as commodity and labor inflation stabilizes, said the analyst.
The analyst upgraded both Shake Shack Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) and Dutch Bros Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BROS#NYSE">BROS</a>) to Overweight from Equal Weight.
The analyst downgraded Bloomin&#8217; Brands Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLMN#NASDAQ">BLMN</a>) and Dine Brands Global Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIN#NYSE">DIN</a>) to Equal Weight from Overweight.
