<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>Comparing Entergy'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>, Entergy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.23%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Entergy?

As the need for power in AI data centers escalates,&nbsp;Microsoft Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) is considering the possibility of utilizing natural gas.
What Happened: Microsoft&#8217;s Vice President of Energy, Bobby Hollis, told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/11/microsoft-is-open-to-using-natural-gas-to-power-ai-data-centers-ameet-ballooning-demand.html">CNBC </a> that the tech giant is considering the use of natural gas with carbon capture technology to power its AI data centers. However, this option will only be explored if it proves to be &#8220;commercially viable and cost competitive.&#8221;
Despite the hefty costs associated with carbon capture technology, it has been under development by oil and gas companies for several years. The technology is designed to capture&nbsp;industrial carbon dioxide emissions sites and store them deep underground.
Microsoft has set bold climate targets, striving to offset its entire electricity usage with carbon-free energy by 2030. However, the tech sector has realized that renewables alone cannot fulfill the high power requirements of data centers.
Last Year, Microsoft turned to nuclear power and signed a deal to support the restart of&nbsp;Three Mile Island. However, the U.S. is unlikely to expand nuclear power significantly before the 2030s.
Despite its carbon dioxide emissions, natural gas is increasingly seen as a near-term power solution by data center developers. Energy Secretary, Chris Wright stated on&nbsp;Monday that renewable energy cannot fully substitute gas in electricity generation.

Why It Matters: By considering natural gas for powering data centers, Microsoft is following Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) who have partnered with Entergy Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) subsidiaries <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42337936/meta-unveils-10-billion-ai-data-center-in-louisiana-a-game-changer-for-tech-and-jobs">in Louisiana</a> and Mississippi, respectively, for the same reason. This also represents a larger effort by U.S. power companies to expand natural gas infrastructure to meet the rising electricity demand driven by AI. 
A report released by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA)&nbsp;in January highlights that utility providers in Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina intend to develop a total of 20 GW of new natural gas generation by 2040, driven mainly by the growing demand from data centers.

Fuel supply agreement strengthens reliability, lowers costs, and powers growth

Reported Earlier, Entergy Texas Joins Forces With Kinder Morgan, Golden Pass LNG To Secure Reliable Energy Supply For Southeast Texas

Power grids across the South face an extraordinary challenge Tuesday as snow blankets regions typically prepared for summer heat waves, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/01/43036258/polar-vortex-brings-winters-coldest-air-for-trumps-inauguration-day-what-it-means-for-utilities-retailers-energy-stocks">not winter whiteouts.</a>
What Happened A fierce winter system has upended daily life from Texas through the Carolinas, forcing Gulf Coast weather forecasters to issue their region&#8217;s first-ever snowstorm alert, CNN <a href="url-would-go-here">reports</a>.
The system&#8217;s power shocked the region Tuesday. Streets from Houston, Texas, through Louisiana, disappeared under white blankets, reaching six inches deep in some areas. Thermometers plunged into territory more familiar to northern states, driving wind chills into single digits across Texas.
Emergency declarations spread across Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Mississippi as the storm intensified. The Gulf Coast, better known for hurricane preparation, now faces winter conditions that threaten to paralyze communities for days, CNN reports.
The storm&#8217;s intensity caught many areas off guard. Snow accumulation and icy conditions transformed southern highways into hazard zones. Weather experts warn the cold snap could shatter records dating back more than a century.

Why It Matters: Local power providers mobilize resources to protect vital infrastructure. The scale of the response reflects the region&#8217;s unusual winter challenge.
Officials closed roads across five southern states, emptying highways and forcing residents indoors. &#8220;Most of us haven&#8217;t experienced this combination of bitter cold and significant snow ever in our lifetime,&#8221; Louisiana climatologist Jay Grymes told CNN
The storm&#8217;s reach shut down major transportation arteries. Both Houston airports suspended flights, while New Orleans saw nearly all air traffic halt by morning. Port operations froze, and even space exploration paused as NASA&#8217;s Texas operations suspended work through Wednesday.
School systems from Texas to Florida shifted to remote learning or closed entirely. Atlanta officials warned of road conditions deteriorating rapidly as the system pushes east.
Several major utilities are positioning themselves as the winter storm impacts their service territories:
<ul>
<li>CenterPoint Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNP#NYSE">CNP</a>), a major utility provider headquartered in Houston, Texas, focuses on electric transmission and distribution in the state and natural gas distribution across several U.S. regions.</li>
<li>Southern Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>), a prominent southeastern energy provider, specializes in electric power generation, transmission, and distribution, with operations in multiple states.</li>
<li>Entergy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) serves customers in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas, providing electric power generation, transmission, and distribution services.</li>
<li>Duke Energy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) operates across the Carolinas, Florida, and parts of the Midwest, delivering electric power generation, transmission, and distribution services.</li>
<li>NextEra Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) primarily serves Florida through its subsidiary Florida Power &amp; Light and is a leading investor in renewable energy, focusing on wind and solar power.</li>
</ul>
Natural gas futures were down over 5% at the time of publication Tuesday.
The rare winter assault comes as utility stocks show renewed strength, with the sector seeing increased investor interest amid growing power demands from data centers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/01/42974006/utilities-rebound-as-ai-powers-energy-demand-3-etfs-to-watch">and AI operations.</a>

Southern Power Grids Face Historic Winter Test As Snow Blankets Gulf Coast: 5 Utilities To Watch

Who knew stodgy utilities would turn into tech's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/utilities">unsung heroes</a>? 
JPMorgan analysts Jeremy Tonet and Richard W. Sunderland chose Entergy Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>), NiSource Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NI#NYSE">NI</a>), and Vistra Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) as top stock picks, betting on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">power-hungry AI revolution</a> and surging data center demand to fuel their growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Entergy: Oops, It Did It Again?</h2>
Entergy is making waves with yet another massive data center deal in Louisiana. A local filing hints at a $12 billion Hut 8 project, which, if confirmed, would be the utility's third major hyperscaler win. 
JPMorgan sees this as validation of Entergy's growing dominance in the large commercial &amp; industrial (C&amp;I) power space—big tech is setting up shop, and Entergy is cashing in. 
With Meta Platform's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) $10 billion investment in Northern Louisiana and Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) $10 billion spend in Mississippi, the trend is clear: AI needs juice, and Entergy is becoming the go-to provider.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vistra: Hold Onto That Power Feeling</h2>
Vistra isn't just another independent power producer (IPP)—it's JPMorgan's top pick among IPPs (independent power producers), with a strong balance of natural gas leverage and nuclear opportunity. The firm sees manufacturing onshoring, electrification, and relentless data center demand driving power prices higher, and Vistra is positioned to capitalize. 
While competitors like Constellation Energy Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) and Talen Energy Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLN#NASDAQ">TLN</a>) also have nuclear exposure, JPMorgan believes Vistra offers the best risk/reward balance, thanks to its Permian and Appalachia gas assets and strategic flexibility.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">NiSource: A Sleeper Bet On Load Growth</h2>
NiSource may not have Entergy's headline-grabbing hyperscaler deals, but it's quietly benefiting from the same secular trends. 
JPMorgan sees broader electrification and industrial demand bolstering NiSource's long-term growth, making it a strong contender for utility investors looking beyond the AI gold rush.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Big Picture</h2>
JPMorgan believes 2024's power demand boom is just getting started, and utilities with data center exposure are in pole position. 
While Entergy leads the pack with another possible hyperscaler deal, Vistra's diversified portfolio and NiSource's steady growth make them standout picks ahead of earnings. 
For investors betting on AI's insatiable energy appetite, these utilities might just be the next big trade.
