<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.

Keybanc Maintains Overweight on Cogent Comms Hldgs, Raises Price Target to $90

On Monday, Cogent Communications Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCOI#NASDAQ">CCOI</a>) received a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40439400/cogent-communications-to-rally-around-12-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-monday">price target increase from Citigroup analyst Michael Rollins</a>.
While wavelengths remain a longer-term growth opportunity, the company has fallen behind schedule, according to BofA Securities.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58beb7e5b85e930001906331/david-barden">Analyst David Barden</a> downgraded the rating for Cogent Communications from Neutral to Underperform, while cutting the price target from $75 to $65.
The Cogent Communications Thesis: The Sprint Wireline acquisition was completed more than a year ago, but the company "remains deeply immersed in the Sprint network integration," falling well behind schedule in monetizing the wavelength opportunity, Barden said in the downgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Wavelength sales of $3.3 million in the first quarter and of $3.6 million in the second quarter came below Street estimates and "well below management&#8217;s targets shared at the Sprint network acquisition closing," he added.
"Management originally believed it could achieve a $20mn wavelength sales run-rate by 4Q24 but withdrew this guidance as provisioning times for wavelength services remained elongated due to (surmountable) engineering complexities," the analyst wrote.
A positive inflection point for the business is likely to take place only in the back half of 2025, Barden stated.
CCOI Price Action: Shares of Cogent Communications were down 2.82% to $72.62 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
