<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.

VICI Properties will release its third quarter financial results on Thursday, Oct. 31, after the close of trading on the NYSE.
Cramer said although STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STM#NYSE">STM</a>) is fine, but he prefers Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).

&#8220;I am shocked at how low that is,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about New Fortress Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFE#NYSE">NFE</a>). &#8220;I think that you have to stick with it.&#8221;

Crown Castle declares $1.565 dividend

As 5G revolutionizes industries, investors can look to invest in communication-focused REITs such as American Tower Corp. (AMT), Crown Castle (CCI), and SBA Communications (SBAC) that seem to thrive and generate significant long-term returns. Read on… As 5G technology reshapes industries, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/reit.asp">Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)</a> with stakes in communication infrastructure are positioned to benefit from this high-tech wave. Below, I have highlighted three fundamentally strong REITs: American Tower Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/AMT/">AMT</a>), Crown Castle Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CCI/">CCI</a>), and SBA Communications Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SBAC/">SBAC</a>), which are poised for growth as the 5G rollout gains momentum.
You've probably heard of 5G by now. It's the latest or, let's say, ‘fifth' generation of cellular wireless technology that promises speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G, enabling nearly instant internet connections. Beyond our smartphones, 5G unlocks the potential for innovations like self-driving cars, advanced robotics, AI-driven applications, and even entire smart cities.
However, to support this next-generation technology, an extensive infrastructure overhaul is necessary, meaning new and upgraded cell towers and support structures are in high demand. According to Fortune Business Insights, the global 5G infrastructure market is projected to reach <a href="https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/industry-reports/5g-infrastructure-market-100869">$590.18 billion by 2032</a>, exhibiting a CAGR of 42.7% from 2024 to 2032.
This increased need for towers translates to growing opportunities for REITs specializing in communication infrastructure. Moreover, REITs offer a unique advantage for investors, as they're required to distribute at least 90% of their income as dividends, making them a reliable source of returns even in uncertain economic times.
Furthermore, Technavio projects that the global REIT market will increase by $350.20 billion between 2023 and 2028. The market's growth momentum is estimated to accelerate at a <a href="https://www.technavio.com/report/reit-market-analysis">CAGR of 2.9%</a> in the same period.
