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.

The tech world in 2025 is set to be defined by resilience, consolidation, and the unstoppable rise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">of Edge AI</a>. 
JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee has unveiled his top predictions for hardware and networking in 2025, and it's clear: the year will be all about resilience, edge AI, and a few surprising twists. Here's what investors need to know.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple, Edge AI: 2 Hot Tickets For 2025</h2>
Chatterjee is betting on Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to flex its muscles. He sees iPhone 17 hype and the rise of Edge AI keeping investors hooked. Forget the valuation debates—AI integration in smartphones and PCs could make Apple untouchable for much of the year.
While hyperscalers may grapple with AI scaling debates, Edge AI will steal the spotlight. By December, expect it to solidify as the darling of the tech world, powering smarter gadgets and keeping investors excited well into 2026.
AI's ROI remains focused on cost-cutting rather than driving revenue gains. Enterprises will stick to the basics, leveraging AI for leaner operations rather than headline-grabbing revenue boosts, the analyst said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cloud Wars Favor Hardware</h2>
The long-running tug-of-war between on-premise and cloud infrastructure tilts toward hardware in 2025. According to Chatterjee, companies like Dell Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NASDAQ">DELL</a>) and Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) could shrug off fears of cloud dominance as enterprises reconsider the cloud's ROI for AI workloads.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Stocks: A Rollercoaster Ride</h2>
It won't be smooth sailing for AI-leveraged players like Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>), per Chatterjee. Early-year uncertainty will weigh on shares until mid-year earnings provide clarity. 
Investors will wait for the likes of Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell and 800G Ethernet switching to gain traction.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation Squeeze, Cyclicality To Spark M&amp;A Frenzy</h2>
Premium valuations across the hardware sector will narrow the gap between winners and laggards, says Chatterjee. The year's theme? Find value in the underdogs or wait for M&amp;A opportunities to unlock hidden potential.
As Telco, enterprise, and cable players gear up for a cyclical rebound, consolidation could heat up. Chatterjee predicts stronger players will snap up rivals to amplify recovery gains and slash costs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Contract Manufacturers: The New Favorites</h2>
Historically overshadowed by OEMs, contract manufacturers are ready to shine. Lower risks, better margins, and ties to AI infrastructure projects could make them 2025's surprise winners.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Troubles Overblown</h2>
Worried about tariffs? Don't be. Chatterjee expects years of supply chain investments to shield companies from the worst, leaving doomsayers scratching their heads as stocks rise.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EV, AV: Hype Fatigue Sets In</h2>
Electric and autonomous vehicles will face another year of growing pains. With U.S. EV subsidies on shaky ground and slower progress in autonomous tech, optimism might fizzle—except for robotaxis, which could gain traction in tightly controlled spaces, says Chatterjee.
JPMorgan's vision for 2025 is clear: edge AI is the growth engine, Apple stays unstoppable, and consolidation could define the year. For investors, it's a roadmap to navigate the tech sector's next big moves.

<h3>Comparing Arista Networks P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Arista Networks has a better P/E ratio of 54.3 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 49.32 of the Communications Equipment industry. Ideally, one might believe that Arista Networks Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735056007_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Cheniere Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>) is a &#8220;terrific&#8221; stock, Cramer said. "I like the LNG market now that we have President-elect Trump coming in because he's pro LNG.&#8221;
On Oct. 31, Cheniere Energy reported better-than-expected third-quarter financial results and raised its FY24 adjusted EBITDA guidance. Cheniere Energy reported quarterly earnings of $3.93 per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $1.87 per share.

&#8220;These are really good companies, you have to buy them when they're low,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>).
CSX will release fourth quarter financial and operating results after the closing bell on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025.
&#8220;You want to hold on to Eaton Corporation plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETN#NYSE">ETN</a>). You know, Eaton is a buy and hold story,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;Do not sell, own.&#8221;

Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight on Arista Networks, Raises Price Target to $118

As the tech sector pivots from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI-fueled growth</a> to a broader market recovery, JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee highlights a cyclical rebound powering upside for traditional IT infrastructure and industrial tech.
Top picks like Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), Corning Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>) and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) are set to ride the next cyclical upswing from recovering demand in servers, telecom, and industrial markets. 
At the same time, the analyst says Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>), Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) and Amphenol Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APH#NYSE">APH</a>) stand to gain from networking and multi-sector recoveries.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why These Three?</h2>
Chatterjee's strategy banks on recovery beyond AI-driven hype. 
<ul>
<li>The resurgence of traditional IT infrastructure demand should position Dell for long-term growth. Infrastructure investments and enterprise upgrades are expected to spearhead Dell's upside.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Corning brings its diversified industrial tech portfolio to the table. With AI-driven telecom growth and a revival in optical and display markets, Corning is poised to shine as end-market recoveries take center stage.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Coherent, a player in the optical sector, rounds out the trio with its diversified revenue streams. Chatterjee points to margin-expansion opportunities and AI-related synergies as key drivers for this pick, particularly as the company works through inventory digestion challenges.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Tailwind Beyond AI &#8211; Arista, Cisco, Amphenol</h2>
The report underscores a robust cyclical resurgence in critical hardware and networking sectors. After experiencing downturns in late 2023 and early 2024, traditional IT infrastructure markets—encompassing servers, storage, and enterprise networking—are showing signs of substantial recovery. The analyst says companies like Arista Networks, Cisco, and Amphenol are strategically positioned to capitalize on these emerging networking opportunities and multi-market rebounds.
The PC market, for example, is expected to shift gears in 2025, with enterprise/commercial refreshes driving mid-single-digit growth. Similarly, the smartphone market, already seeing modest growth in 2024, is forecasted to accelerate next year, boosted by subsidies in China.
On the networking front, datacenter switches and wireless LANs are primed for the most substantial rebounds in 2025, reflecting enterprises' push toward datacenter investments. 
This sets the stage for Arista and Cisco, both benefiting from secular shifts in cloud and AI-driven networking.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dell, Corning, Coherent Lead The Charge</h2>
JPMorgan's call for a cyclical rebound beyond AI hype highlights a return to fundamentals, with Dell, Corning, and Coherent leading the charge. 
With broader end markets poised for recovery, these names stand out as key beneficiaries in the next phase of tech and industrial growth.
Investors looking for opportunities in a post-AI frenzy market may find this pivot toward a cyclical recovery both timely and lucrative.

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) skyrocketed more than 20% during Friday morning trading, hitting all-time highs after its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings blew <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42480891/broadcom-reports-four-fold-increase-in-ai-chips-revenue-expects-continued-momentum-boasts-of-cost-reduction-in-vmware-after-acquisition-heres-what-happened">past Wall Street estimates. </a>

Arya&#8217;s optimism stems from three main drivers:
<ol>
<li>AI&#8217;s Expanding Footprint: Broadcom&#8217;s custom AI chips (ASICs) now serve five major customers, up from three previously. The company's AI-related revenue could soar to a served available market of $60–$90 billion by 2027—up from an estimated $15–$20 billion in 2023.</li>
<li>Apple's Steady Demand: Broadcom is expected to maintain its strong relationship with Apple, despite prior concerns about declining content orders.</li>
<li>Robust Earnings Growth: Analysts forecast a 15% sales growth and a 20% adjusted earnings-per-share (EPS) growth trajectory through 2026, underpinned by Broadcom&#8217;s diversified portfolio spanning silicon and infrastructure software.</li>
</ol>
"Broadcom's AI-driven growth potential and diversified base position it as one of the best opportunities in the chip sector," Arya said in a note, justifying their upward revision of earnings per share in fiscal year 2025 and 2026 by 5% and 3%, respectively.
