<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Fluence Energy has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Fluence Energy'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>, Fluence Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.46%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

On Friday, American Electric Power Company, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEP#NASDAQ">AEP</a>) reported fourth quarter revenue of $4.70 billion, missing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43688479/aep-reports-2024-earnings-results" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $4.88 billion</a>.
Total energy distribution rose 4.0%&nbsp;year over year (Y/Y) in the Vertically Integrated Utilities segment and&nbsp;rose&nbsp;10.3% Y/Y&nbsp;in the Transmission &amp; Distribution Utilities segment.&nbsp;
Commercial load rose by 10.6% in 2024, led by economic expansion within the company&#8217;s service area.
Adjusted operating earnings rose to&nbsp;$660.1 million&nbsp;in the quarter from&nbsp;$646.9 million&nbsp;a year ago.&nbsp;
Adjusted operating earnings from Vertically Integrated Utilities rose to&nbsp;$275.5 million&nbsp;from&nbsp;$237.8 million&nbsp;the prior year, and AEP Transmission Holdco grew to&nbsp;$166.3 million&nbsp;from&nbsp;$159.3 million in the prior&nbsp;year's quarter.
Adjusted EPS&nbsp;of&nbsp;$1.24 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the consensus of&nbsp;$1.22</a>.
FY25&nbsp;Outlook: American Electric Power reaffirmed FY25 adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$5.75&nbsp;–&nbsp;$5.95&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">vs consensus of&nbsp;$5.88</a>.
The company continues to see a long-term growth rate&nbsp;outlook of&nbsp;6%&nbsp;to&nbsp;8%.
Bill Fehrman, AEP president and chief executive officer, said, &#8220;We anticipate 8-9% annual total retail load growth from 2025-2027 and ultimately expect to serve more than 20 gigawatts of new load by the end of the decade.&#8221;
&#8221;Our $54 billion, five-year capital plan that we announced in the fall supports this opportunity as we build infrastructure that meets the needs of our customers, communities and the states that we serve. Further, as we continue to review the full scope of our infrastructure needs, we are evaluating $10 billion of potential incremental investment across our service territory and regional transmission grids,&#8221; he added.
AEP Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Trevor Mihalik said, &#8220;The $2.82 billion minority equity interest transaction we announced in early January for our Ohio and Indiana Michigan Transmission Companies gives us financial flexibility to redeploy the proceeds and support economic growth in our states, while maintaining our commitment to a strong balance sheet.&#8221;
&#8221;This was a creative and effective way to finance the growth we are seeing, equivalent to issuing common stock at $170 per share, a significant premium to our current share price. We recently submitted the necessary regulatory filing and expect to close on the transaction in the second half of the year,&#8221; Mihalik added.
