A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On Chart Industries Through 6 Analysts

Lockheed Martin's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.14% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.26 million shares sold short, which is 1.65% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.07 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Lockheed Martin 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.
<h3>Comparing Lockheed Martin'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>, Lockheed Martin's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.11%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On Ameresco Through 4 Analysts

A 21-year-old dog trainer recently <a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1892965717135282584">called</a> into &#8220;The Ramsey Show,&#8221; looking for advice on his growing debt and business struggles. Sal, who is about to become a father, revealed that he is $300,000 in debt after renovating a rented facility for his dog training business. He wanted to know whether he should focus on expanding the business or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/02/43789996/dave-ramsey-says-a-paid-off-mortgage-is-the-new-status-symbol-not-a-bmw-do-you-agree">paying off his debt</a>.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Did He Get Into So Much Debt?</h2>
Sal started his business at 19 as a mobile dog trainer, keeping costs low. But as he expanded, he decided he needed a physical location. "We rented and then kind of renovated a 4,000-square-foot facility," he explained. To finance the renovations and other expenses, he took out a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/heloc-requirements">home equity line of credit</a> from his father, something he now realizes was a mistake.
Dave Ramsey was stunned when Sal confirmed that most of his $300,000 debt came from renovating a building he doesn't even own. "You spent money renovating someone else's building that you rent?" Ramsey asked. "So where's the $300,000? You spent $300,000 on someone else's building?"
Sal broke it down: $225,000 went toward the renovations, marketing, and employee salaries, while another $30,000 went toward a van for the business.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Reality Check</h2>
Despite the massive investment, Sal's business brought in $300,000 in revenue last year, with only $40,000 in profit. Ramsey immediately shut down the idea of expanding: "No. You need to make some money with all this money you&#8217;ve spent. You need to double your revenues with your existing facilities and your stupid $30,000 van that you did not need. You have never seen anything you wanted that you didn&#8217;t go buy it. Stop it."
Ramsey warned Sal that spending more money doesn't guarantee success. "The disease that you have is the idea that if I spend more, I'm always going to make more. And that is a disease that doesn't work in business."

Instead of hiring more employees or investing in marketing, Ramsey urged Sal to focus on increasing profits with what he already has. "Your ability to look at an animal and teach it to behave is the secret sauce. It is not whether you have a van and it's not whether you have a rental property with a kennel in it."
Ramsey also suggested selling the $30,000 van to free up cash and start repaying his father. He emphasized that hard work, not new purchases, would turn things around. "You've made a mess, and you need a shovel—and you are the shovel."

'You Spent $300K On Someone Else's Building?!' — 21-Year-Old Expecting A Baby And Drowning In Debt Asks Dave Ramsey For Help

The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chips-act" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. Chips Program Office</a> will lose close to forty percent of its staff, marking a divergence in President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8217;s strategy&nbsp;from that of Joe Biden.
The reduction includes around 20 employees who accepted a voluntary deferred resignation and left the U.S. government office last week, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-03/us-chips-act-office-is-losing-two-fifths-of-staff-to-trump-purge?srnd=phx-technology&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. Reportedly, the Trump administration will terminate the office of another 40 who are considered probationary on Monday.

The 2022 program the Biden administration inked includes $39 billion in manufacturing grants to companies like&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and&nbsp;Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), plus $11 billion for research and development. It has prompted well over $400 billion in promised private investment.
Commerce Secretary&nbsp;Howard Lutnick suggested to Bloomberg that Trump tariffs have an edge over the erstwhile Chips Act.
He lauded how Trump convinced Taiwan Semiconductor to boost its U.S. investment by $100 billion to avoid tariffs instead of the erstwhile $65 billion Arizona fab investment in return for a 10% subsidy.
The Biden administration built an office of about 140 people to oversee the Chips Act manufacturing spending, in addition to staff responsible for R&amp;D funding.
The semiconductor supply chain disruption due to the 2020 pandemic and alleged national security threats from countries like China prompted countries like the U.S., Europe, and Japan to consolidate the domestic semiconductor base.
Therefore, they forged deals with the chipmakers to construct fabs in their countries to develop advanced semiconductor technology, notably artificial intelligence technology, to unlock value.
U.S. Big Tech giants have downsized by a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43352019/amazon-cuts-more-jobs-in-cost-saving-push-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">couple of thousands</a>, citing a pandemic-induced slowdown, an efficiency drive, and other factors.
In 2022, Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) let go of its workforce, affecting 27,000 positions. Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) fired 10,000 employees in 2023, losing 4%-5% of its workforce. In 2023, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)&nbsp;Google&nbsp;slashed 12,000 jobs, affecting ~6% of its workforce. Since November 2022, Meta&nbsp;Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) laid off 21,000 employees or 25% of its workforce.&nbsp;
