<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.

Morgan Stanley analyst Keith Weiss noted that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cybersecurity" rel="noreferrer noopener">cybersecurity</a> remains a top spending priority for organizations globally.
Weiss noted longer-term tailwinds are intact as recent technological advancements (GenAI, Public Cloud) expand the attack surface area, creating new product opportunities for securing AI and leveraging AI to automate security operations.
In the near term, the analyst flagged risks investors might not fully appreciate heading into 2025.

While the spending environment is showing signs of stability post-US elections, budgets remain tight, with CIOs and CISOs looking to consolidate multiple vendors. Some of the most significant security players (Palo Alto Networks, Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/panw#NASDAQ">PANW</a>) and CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>)) have only recently increased near-term discounting and &#8220;platformization&#8221; efforts to drive consolidation and accelerate share gains. This is likely to have a broader negative pricing impact in 2025.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The average security company derives ~7% of sales from the U.S. Public Sector. The Federal government spent over $20 billion annually on security products and services (+10% CAGR over the last 5 years), which has been a significant source of growth for security vendors in recent years.
With the incoming U.S. administration proposing substantial cuts to federal spending through initiatives like DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) and recent reports of downsizing CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), this could be a headwind to IT/security budgets next year.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
After a significant rise in 2023, there are emerging signs that ransomware attacks may be peaking. Security stocks have outperformed broader software driven by multiple expansions on negative estimate revisions.
Current security valuations are above the broader software and longer-term average, reflecting improving future growth rates and a more balanced risk-reward.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Weiss sought idiosyncratic opportunities in companies with emerging product cycles, particularly those aligned with GenAI. This includes Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NET#NYSE">NET</a>), which has a chance in Edge AI inference.
The analyst also favors&nbsp;Fortinet, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTNT#NASDAQ">FTNT</a>) and Palo Alto Networks, given the network security refresh in the second half of fiscal 2025 and 2026. Turnaround stories such as Okta, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKTA#NASDAQ">OKTA</a>) also commanded the analyst&#8217;s attention.
Weiss noted Fortinet as a multi-year positive revisions story with firewall refresh demand sustaining through 2027 and higher software attach rates driving stronger-for-longer recurring services growth from the refresh cycle.
The analyst favored Okta due to the stabilizing demand environment, the easing of competitive headwinds, and the beginning of newer product cycles.
Weiss also flagged Varonis Systems, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRNS#NASDAQ">VRNS</a>) as the SaaS transition tailwind drives a further acceleration in ARR growth for the next 2-3 quarters and a stronger position as a GenAI enabler becomes more apparent given the rising priority of data security/governance.
Weiss upgraded Cloudflare from Equal-Weight to Overweight and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NET/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$92&nbsp;to&nbsp;$130</a>. The analyst upgraded Okta from Equal-Weight to Overweight and raised the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OKTA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from&nbsp;$92&nbsp;to&nbsp;$97</a>.
In the longer term, Weiss continues to favor platform consolidators Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike Holdings but noted a minor upside in the near term as both deliberately discounted to consolidate market share in the longer term. Multiples for both stocks are above historical averages.
The analyst flagged a more favorable setup for both in the second half of fiscal 2025.
Price Actions: NET stock is up 6.52% at $106.34 at the last check on Monday. OKTA is up 3.79%.
