Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Give Their Take On 3 Tech And Telecom Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Nexstar Media Gr's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXST#NYSE">NXST</a>) short percent of float has risen 30.78% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.07 million shares sold short, which is 9.56% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.97 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>Nexstar Media Gr Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747944028_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Nexstar Media Gr 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 Nexstar Media Gr'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>, Nexstar Media Gr's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.30%, which means the company has more 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>

Buyback: The company repurchased shares worth&nbsp;$75&nbsp;million&nbsp;in the quarter.

&#8221;For the balance of 2025, we remain focused on renewing distribution contracts representing approximately 60% of our subscriber base in total for the year, continuing our path towards profitability at The CW, preparing for the 2026 political cycle, and pursuing deregulation.&#8221;

Wells Fargo Maintains Overweight on Nexstar Media Gr, Lowers Price Target to $200

Nexstar Media Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXST#NASDAQ">NXST</a>) shares fell 1.26% to $148.30 during Wednesday's trading session after short seller Grizzly Research issued a <a href="https://grizzlyreports.com/nexstar/">report</a> alleging the broadcaster's digital strategy is failing and the company is at risk of a rapid decline. Benzinga reached out to Nexstar for comment.
What To Know: Grizzly Research, which said it spoke with 16 former executives, alleged that Nexstar's leadership is "deeply out of touch" with digital media trends and overly reliant on aging linear TV revenues. 
The report warned Nexstar could soon face a <a href="https://grizzlyreports.com/nexstar/">disruptive reckoning</a> similar to Kodak's collapse in the face of digital photography.
According to Grizzly, Nexstar&#8217;s digital products are outdated, underused and plagued by declining traffic—particularly key properties like The CW, NewsNation and BestReviews.com.
The firm also flagged the company's high goodwill relative to shareholder equity and insider share sales as signs of weakening internal confidence. While Nexstar's digital unit presents itself as a forward-looking, data-driven operation, 
Grizzly suggested the company lacks both strategy and tools to compete in a modern media ecosystem. Nexstar stock is still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NXST">trading</a> at a premium compared to peers, but Grizzly warned investors may be overestimating the sustainability of its current business model.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NXST Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Nexstar Media&#8217;s case, it is in the Communication Services sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, NXST has a 52-week high of $191.86 and a 52-week low of $141.66.
