<p><strong>NextEra Energy's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.31% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>38.42 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 1.87% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, <strong>it would take traders 4.59 days to cover their short positions on average.</strong></p>
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p><img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727960422_0.png" alt="short_fig" /></p>
<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for NextEra Energy 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.</p>
<h3>Comparing NextEra Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, NextEra Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.12%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>
<p>Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be <strong>bullish</strong> for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/"><strong>This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</strong></a></p>

<p>While the <strong>S&amp;P 500</strong> is up 20.30% year-to-date, utilities — tracked by <strong>Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>) — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/utilities">have surged by 26.99%</a>. </p>
<p>The sector is outpacing the market's biggest names, including tech and communication services.</p>
<p>The leaders posting significant gains in this space include <strong>NextEra Energy Inc </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>), <strong>Southern Co</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>) and <strong>Duke Energy Corp</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>). But it&#8217;s <strong>Vistra Corp.</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VST#NYSE">VST</a>) and <strong>Constellation Energy Corp </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>) that are embracing the AI revolution to supercharge their growth.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Vistra, Constellation: The New Tech Titans?</strong></h2>
<p>Vistra stock has rocketed 205.61% this year, becoming the top-performing stock in the S&amp;P 500. With its focus on nuclear energy, it's carving a niche in powering AI data centers.</p>
<p>Constellation Energy is up 119.86%, and has similarly thrived. The company struck deals with <strong>Microsoft Corp</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) to fuel the tech giant's AI and cloud infrastructure with clean nuclear energy.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Drivers Behind The Utility Sector Surge</h3>
<p>The robust performance of utilities stocks in 2024 has caught many investors by surprise, especially given the broader market&#8217;s focus on growth sectors like technology in recent years. </p>
<p>&#8220;There is an undeniable defensive undertone here, as defensive stocks like utilities and consumer staples are leading the charge. The lack of momentum in the previously unstoppable &#8216;Magnificent 7&#8217; tech stocks could be signaling a shift in market sentiment,&#8221; analyst Michael Gayed.</p>
<p>This move toward defensive assets is particularly significant amid rising concerns over macroeconomic volatility and an increasingly unpredictable interest rate environment.</p>
<p>Bank of America recently raised its outlook for the utilities sector to Overweight, citing a combination of income and quality characteristics, which have become increasingly attractive as volatility rises.</p>
<p>&#8220;Client flows have suggested no love for the sector, but single stocks have begun to see inflows in recent weeks and ETF flows have begun to trend positively since the spring,&#8221; analysts at Bank of America highlighted.</p>
<p>&#8220;It's remarkable that the most defensive sector of the S&amp;P 500 has officially become the year&#8217;s top performer, despite the widespread consensus that the economy is doing well,&#8221; Otavio Costa, a macro strategist at Crescat Capital, said in a post on social media X.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Utilities Meet Rising Demand For AI-Driven Data Centers</h3>
<p>Indeed, a critical factor boosting the utilities sector is the rising demand for electricity tied to the growth of AI-linked data centers. </p>
<p>Carly Davenport, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, highlighted this trend in a note, saying, &#8220;Data center growth is starting to contribute meaningfully to power demand, and we've seen further positive revisions to the pipeline.&#8221;</p>
<p>Goldman Sachs estimates that data centers will be the largest driver of U.S. power demand growth, contributing around 90 basis points (bps) to the nation&#8217;s 2.4% power demand compound annual growth rate through 2030. </p>
<p>This increase in demand is expected to lead to incremental capital investments in transmission and generation capacity, potentially driving further upside for utilities stocks over the next several years.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top-Performing Utility Stocks in 2024</h3>
<p>Several utility companies have experienced outsized gains this year, driven by strong earnings, strategic investments, and sectoral tailwinds. Here&#8217;s a look at the top-performing utility stocks year-to-date through Sept. 11:</p>

This Under-The-Radar Defensive AI Sector Quietly Outperforms All Others, Despite Receiving 'No Love' From Investors

<p>On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said recommended buying <strong>Vertiv Holdings Co</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRT#NYSE">VRT</a>), saying it has &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39938457/vertivs-focus-on-ai-drives-q2-revenue-and-profit-growth-guidance-boost-more">come down enough.&#8221;</a></p>
<p>On July 24, Vertiv said second-quarter net sales rose 13% Y/Y to $1.953 billion, beating the consensus of $1.939 billion. Organic orders (excluding foreign exchange) rose 57% Y/Y in the quarter. The book-to-bill ratio stood at 1.4x in the quarter.</p>
<p><strong>AES </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AES#NYSE">AES</a>) is &#8220;good,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;It's very inexpensive, let's go for it.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Aug. 1, AES reported mixed financial results for the second quarter. AES reported quarterly earnings of 38 cents per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 37 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $2.94 billion which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $3.19 billion.</p>
<p>When asked about <strong>NextEra Energy</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>), &#8220;I don't get this. I've got to find out what's the truth, and then we'll come back with a more considerate opinion.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Sept. 3, Wells Fargo analyst Neil Kalton maintained NextEra Energy with an Overweight and raised the price target from $95 to $102.</p>
<p>&#8220;That stock really does have me very concerned,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about <strong>Hertz Global Holdings, Inc</strong>. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NASDAQ">HTZ</a>).</p>
<p>On Aug. 1, Hertz reported second-quarter revenue of $2.4 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $2.46 billion, according to estimates from Benzinga Pro. The company reported an adjusted earnings loss of $1.44 per share, missing analyst estimates for a loss of 90 cents per share.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong></p>

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>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.</p>
