Fluor's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLR#NYSE">FLR</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.34% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 7.42 million shares sold short, which is 5.72% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.66 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.

<h3>Fluor Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1742931026_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Fluor 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 Fluor'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>, Fluor's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.80%, 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>

Shares of companies within the broader industrial sector are trading higher amid an overall market rebound.

Amid an especially volatile <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/03/44176918/trump-delays-mexico-tariffs-for-a-month-economic-uncertainty-persits">start to 2025</a>, small-cap stocks have struggled. Are they now a buy at depressed valuations?
Russell 2000: The Russell 2000, as reflected by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), has dropped nearly 15% since December 2024. This constitutes a market correction.
The Trump Administration has embraced domestic and foreign policies that Former Treasury Secretary&nbsp;Larry Summers&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43649860/larry-summers-and-peter-schiff-warn-of-rising-inflation-risks-as-markets-slash-fed-rate-cut-expectations-most-sensitive-moment">labels as inflationary</a>. Higher prices could lead to higher interest rates, which disproportionately affect smaller companies with floating-rate debt.
The Russell index <a href="https://research.ftserussell.com/Analytics/FactSheets/Home/DownloadSingleIssue?issueName=US2000USD&amp;isManual=True">contains</a> 2,000 companies with an average market cap of around $1 billion. Higher-weighted components are likely to have outperformed the rest of the index and are not necessarily representative of the entire Russell 2000. Still, they provide a glimpse into how investors are valuing small-cap companies.
Here&#8217;s how the top stocks in the IWM have performed since the ETF&#8217;s correction began in December 2024:
Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFM#NASDAQ">SFM</a>)
<ul>
<li>Dec. 2, 2024, Price: $150.92​</li>

Since 1957 (when it become 500 stocks) this is 1,243 ATHs out of 17,176 trading days. In other words, a new ATH happens about once every 3 wks.

He also addressed a very important question, "Should you buy when stocks are all-time highs?" in one of his X posts.
Detrick said, "Don&#8217;t be scared of new highs". He substantiated his claims by adding that the index is usually up 71% of the times, a year after scaling an all-time high.

Talking about the fresh record, Nathan Peterson, director of derivatives analysis at the <a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/stock-market-update-open">Schwab Center</a> for Financial Research said: &#8220;It seems that stocks can maintain a bullish bias provided the economic data and earnings growth estimates hold up and yields on the 10-year Treasury note remain below the mid-January high of 4.8%." 
According to economist Jeremy Siegel, despite the uncertainties, "The stock market continues to perform well, particularly in the tech sector, even as leadership has broadened beyond last year's AI-driven rally."
Professor of finance at the University of Pennsylvania, Siegel also added that "Tesla took a hit on competition from China's BYD, now the world's largest EV maker. Nvidia was hit after the DeepSeek news, but overall, the tech leaders have remained resilient."
