<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.

<h3>Comparing Amkor Tech'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>, Amkor Tech's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.97%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

As global industries become increasingly reliant on advanced computing and connectivity, semiconductor companies are well-positioned for sustained growth. Thus, investors could watch fundamentally solid semiconductor stocks NVIDIA Corp (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM). Keep reading… The semiconductor industry is at the heart of the digital revolution, enabling advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), 5G, and cloud computing. With the industry's focus on innovation and strategic investments, the firms in this sector are driving technological progress while offering compelling growth opportunities for investors.
Given this positive sentiment, it might be wise to consider adding three fundamentally strong semiconductor stocks: NVIDIA Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/NVDA/">NVDA</a>), Broadcom Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AVGO/">AVGO</a>), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TSM/">TSM</a>) to their watchlist.
Companies focusing on AI-related semiconductors have seen tremendous demand, particularly from data centers and tech firms looking to enhance their computational capabilities. The <a href="https://www2.deloitte.com/th/en/pages/about-deloitte/articles/2024-semiconductor-outlook-en.html">gen AI chip growth is fueled by advancements</a> across several key chip technologies. This sector is expected to grow further as AI adoption becomes more widespread across industries.
Moreover, the <a href="https://kpmg.com/us/en/articles/2024/global-semiconductor-industry-outlook-2025.html">KPMG Semiconductor Industry Confidence Index score is 59 for the upcoming year 2025</a>, which indicates a positive outlook.
