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.

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on IES Hldgs?

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he likes NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) and recommended buying the same. &#8220;I think you've got a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NEE/earnings">good one,&#8221; he added</a>.
On Jan. 24, NextEra Energy Inc posted in-line earnings for the fourth quarter and said it continues to expect adjusted EPS of $3.45-$3.70 for FY25.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cramer&#8217;s Take On Tech Stocks</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fastly, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLY#NYSE">FSLY</a>) has missed the quarter too often, Cramer said. &#8220;If you want to be in that, you want to be in Cloudflare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NET#NYSE">NET</a>).&#8221; The San Francisco-based company will release financial results for the fourth quarter after the closing bell on Wednesday, Feb. 12.</li>
<li>A10 Networks, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ATEN#NYSE">ATEN</a>) is &#8220;up in a straight line, it's a parabolic move.&#8221; He noted that although it's a good company, but he can't recommend parabolic stocks. &#8220;Let that one come in,&#8221; he added. The San Jose, California-based company, on Feb. 4, posted better-than-expected earnings for its fourth quarter.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Other Stocks In Focus</h3>
Danaher Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHR#NYSE">DHR</a>) has been bad for him, the Mad Money host said. &#8220;That last quarter was terrible, and, frankly, they were very smug on the call talking about how good it was, and that was a very ill-advised strategy that they adopted, and I don't like it.&#8221;
Supporting his view, Raymond James analyst Andrew Cooper, on Feb. 3, downgraded Danaher from Outperform to Market Perform.
IES Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IESC#NASDAQ">IESC</a>) is Jeffrey Gendell's [Chief Executive Officer for IES Holdings] company, Cramer said. &#8220;He is a, just an amazing man.&#8221;
As per the recent earnings report, IES, on Tuesday, reported quarterly earnings of $2.64 per share, up from $1.86 per share from the same period last year. The company reported $749.50 million in sales during the quarter, compared to $634.40 million the same period last year.
Cramer said Schlumberger Limited (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) is a &#8220;really great&#8221; company, but he doesn't want to recommend the stock. &#8220;It's the best house in a bad neighborhood, and we don't want to be in bad neighborhoods,&#8221; he added.
In the recent news, Schlumberger's OneSubsea joint venture on Tuesday entered an agreement with Vår Energi to deliver a subsea production systems work scope, aimed at supporting multiple upcoming oil and gas developments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
