<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.

<h3>Comparing Cadence Design Sys'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>, Cadence Design Sys's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.06%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
Major averages jumped on Friday but still logged weekly losses, with the Dow down 2.3%, the S&amp;P 500 falling 2%, and the Nasdaq losing 1.8%. 
The Federal Reserve&#8217;s widely anticipated 25-basis-point rate cut on Wednesday was overshadowed by its revised 2025 inflation forecasts and Jerome Powell&#8216;s cautious stance, dampening hopes for deeper cuts next year. Powell emphasized a "new phase" of monetary policy after a 100-basis-point reduction in 2024, signaling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/12/42629219/fed-cuts-interest-rates-but-powell-spoils-santa-claus-rally-dollar-surges-to-over-2-year-high-bitcoin-sinks-below-100000-this-week-in-the-market">only gradual easing in 2025</a>.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which had reached a record $108,388 before the Fed meeting, fell below $100,000 as markets absorbed the news.

Shares of stocks in the broader software sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) had a rocky year. While semiconductors at large posted historic gains through 2024&#8217;s first half, they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40754938/semiconductor-etfs-take-a-beating-dragged-lower-by-nvidia-amd-and-broadcom-stocks">erased much of their gains</a> in the late summer and fall. One industry analyst is optimistic about the industry&#8217;s prospects in 2025.
The Semiconductor Analyst: Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya named six of his top semiconductor picks for 2025:
<ul>
<li>NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with a price target of $190.</li>
<li>Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) with a price target of $250.</li>
<li>Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) with a price target of $140.</li>
<li>Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) with a price target of $92.</li>
<li>ON Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) with a price target of $90.</li>
<li>Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) with a price target of $365.</li>
</ul>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/12/42511580/microchip-technology-faces-multiple-headwinds-heading-into-2025-turns-analyst-bearish">analyst also downgraded</a> Microchip Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>).
The AI Boom: Arya cited Nvidia, Broadcom and Marvell as the leaders in AI. He says Lam Research&#8217;s capital expenditures will recover in 2025 along with the reduction of China headwinds. The analyst also thinks ON Semiconductor will recover from cyclical trends while Cadence Design will benefit from its resiliency.
The analyst sees the semiconductor industry&#8217;s upcycle lasting into 2025. He noted that past bullish cycles have lasted, on average, roughly 10 quarters, while current bullishness has only lasted five quarters.
Arya sees two major trends affecting the industry in 2025.
&#8220;In the first half, we expect the AI investments driven by AI training and scaling of models to continue, doubling down on the Nvidia Blackwell deployment ramps driven by cloud customers,&#8221; the analyst said. &#8220;At the same time, we expect trends for non-AI end markets to remain weak throughout 1H.&#8221;
Arya expects the CHIPS Act, enacted under President Joe Biden, to remain in place following the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. He expects all remaining funding to be dispensed in 2025.
The analyst sees the automotive and industrial industries as fueling semiconductor demand in the year&#8217;s second half.
&#8220;In the second half, we expect a pickup in auto/industrial semis as customer/channel inventories normalize (replenishment + easy comps), as well as a pickup in global auto production,&#8221; Arya said.
The analyst projected electric vehicle sales to reaccelerate 29% year-over-year.

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) has appointed semiconductor industry veterans Eric Meurice and Steve Sanghi to its board of directors, the company announced Thursday, as it navigates through significant leadership transitions and market challenges.
What Happened: The appointments come days after CEO Pat Gelsinger&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42275410/intel-ceo-pat-gelsinger-forced-out-by-board-analysts-cheer-potential-strategy-shift-this-move-opens-the-door">reportedly forced departure</a>, due to the board&#8217;s frustration with his turnaround efforts. 
Under Gelsinger&#8217;s leadership, Intel&#8217;s stock declined over 56% year-to-date as the company struggled to compete with rivals like NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).
Meurice, who led ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) from 2004 to 2013, oversaw a five-fold increase in the company&#8217;s market value and established the Customer Co-Investment Program, which included Intel&#8217;s investment in next-generation lithography technologies. 
Sanghi served as CEO of Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>) for 30 years, during which the company achieved 121 consecutive profitable quarters and grew from a $10 million to $44 billion market value.
&#8220;Eric and Steve bring valuable perspectives as successful CEOs with proven track records,&#8221; said Frank Yeary, Intel&#8217;s interim executive chair, in the company&#8217;s press release.

Why It Matters: Currently, Intel is searching for a permanent CEO to replace Gelsinger. Recent reports suggest that former board member Lip-Bu Tan, known for his successful tenure at Cadence Design Systems Inc., is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42299694/intels-new-ceo-change-unlikely-to-help-gain-traction-versus-taiwan-semi-nvidia-analysts-say">among the candidates being considered</a>.
The appointments come as Intel works to regain its competitive edge in the semiconductor industry, particularly in AI-centric computing, while managing its manufacturing transformation and foundry business development.
Price Action: Intel&#8217;s stock closed at $20.80 on Thursday, down 5.28% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock gained 0.15%. Year-to-date, Intel&#8217;s stock has dropped by 56.49%.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/INTC/analyst-ratings">data from Benzinga Pro</a>, Intel has a consensus price target of $30.23, with a high of $66 and a low of $20. The most recent ratings from BofA, Northland Capital Markets, and Mizuho suggest an average target of $24, implying a 15.22% upside.
