<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Fabrinet 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 Fabrinet'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>, Fabrinet's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.91%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

In a recent exclusive interview with Benzinga, Paul Eitelman, chief investment strategist for North America at Russell Investments, provided insights into the sectors of small-cap stocks that stand out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/small-cap-analysis">amidst economic uncertainty</a>.
While small-caps as a whole face some macroeconomic risks, Eitelman highlights several specific sectors that could offer substantial opportunities.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Where Small-Cap Managers Are Finding Opportunities</h1>
Eitelman notes that &#8220;dedicated small-cap managers are finding opportunities to tilt their portfolio strategies toward banks, technology and select highly indebted companies that are likely to benefit from lower interest rates going forward.&#8221; These sectors are positioned to thrive, especially as interest rates begin to decline.
Technology continues to dominate market discussions, and small-cap tech companies could be key beneficiaries of economic shifts, particularly those aligned with innovative growth areas like AI and data services.
The Russell 2000 index is one of the more popular indices tracking small cap U.S. equity. ETFs that track this index include the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), the Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTWO#NYSE">VTWO</a>) and the Avantis US Small Cap Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVSC#NYSE">AVSC</a>). The Invesco S&amp;P SmallCap Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PSCT#NYSE">PSCT</a>) is a lesser-known but technology-focused ETF tracking small cap companies.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Stock Selection: Primary Driver Of Risk, Return</h1>
However, Eitelman cautions that given the high macroeconomic uncertainty, broad sector bets are risky. He recommends a more refined approach: "Our preference into high macro uncertainty is to target only modest sector tilts and let stock selection shine as the primary driver of risk and return."
This focus on stock selection over aggressive sector rotation makes sense in an environment where not all companies are equally positioned to navigate fluctuating interest rates or economic slowdowns. 
Banks, for example, are likely to benefit from a soft landing scenario, while indebted companies could see relief as rates fall. Tech remains a favorite sector due to its long-term growth prospects, even amid near-term uncertainty.
Overall, Eitelman's strategy emphasizes precision and caution, advising investors to prioritize stock-picking and avoid broad over-exposure in the small-cap space.
