Top 3 Tech And Telecom Stocks You'll Regret Missing This Month

Iridium Comms's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRDM#NYSE">IRDM</a>) short percent of float has risen 22.23% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 12.51 million shares sold short, which is 13.47% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 9.08 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Iridium Comms 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 Iridium Comms'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>, Iridium Comms's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.92%, 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>

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Scoops Up Iridium, Beam, Pacific Biosciences While Offloading Illumina And Amgen

The space economy is seeing an influx of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space">investment and innovation</a>.
Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>) expects to release its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings on March 24 before the market opens. The robust top-line expansion of its lunar payload services and NASA contracts make it a prime stock in the growing space exploration space as well as the aerospace and defense sector.
Intuitive Machines&#8217; forward 12-month price-to-sales (P/S) of 3.17X is above the peer group average of 2.32x, reflecting a premium valuation. This implies that investors are paying a premium price relative to anticipated sales growth compared to peers.

That said, Intuitive Machines is a volatile stock, as understood from its high Beta of 1.31, per CNBC. Beta of 1 and above means the stock tends to move more reactive to developments than the market in in general. For interested investors seeking exposure to the sector but without much of the involved risks, ETFs provide diversified exposure to the sectors. 
This article examines the central themes regarding Intuitive Machines and identifies pertinent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs offering exposure to the space economy</a> and the aerospace and defense sector.
The business of Intutive Machines is based on lunar missions and sophisticated space technologies. The contracts of the company with NASA, such as being part of the IM-1, IM-2, and IM-3 lunar payload missions, reflect its promise in the commercial space segment.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pertinent ETFs</h2>
<ul>
<li>Procure Space ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UFO#NASDAQ">UFO</a>): Tracks the S-Network Space Index, including space-related companies including Intuitive Machines. It&#8217;s expense ratio is 0.94%.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>): Although it does not carry LUNR in its holdings, this fund actively invests in the companies pioneering space exploration and innovation, like Iridium Satellite (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IRDM#NASDAQ">IRDM</a>) and Rocket Lab Usa Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>). It carries an expense ratio of 0.75%.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>): Follows the Dow Jones U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense Index, and carries an expense ratio of 0.4%. ITA&#8217;s portfolio is significantly skewed toward well-known aerospace and defense companies, in contrast to space-focused funds that contain speculative stocks like LUNR, which has NASA and Near Space Network contracts. More than 40% of the fund&#8217;s total assets are held by its top three holdings, which are GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>), RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), and Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>). ITA has been able to perform well during market turbulence thanks to this defensive allocation.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SPDR S&amp;P Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XAR#NYSE">XAR</a>): Follows the S&amp;P Aerospace &amp; Defense Select Industry Index, and has an expense ratio of 0.35%. Since LUNR has been growing its aerospace and defense contract business, there is a possibility of XAR including LUNR in its portfolio in one of its coming reallocations.</li>
</ul>
With the space economy growing, Intuitive Machines&#8217; growth highlights the growing overlap of space exploration, defense, and cutting-edge technology. 
With LUNR&#8217;s participation in lunar missions and advanced innovations, the firm is an appealing investment opportunity for investors. Nonetheless, due to its high valuation, investors would need to evaluate their risk tolerance and look at diversified ETF approaches that offer exposure to the general space and defense sectors. Through the use of ETFs, investors are able to ride this dynamic and fast-growing sector while controlling risk.

The AMD Trade involved the ARKK fund purchasing 30,324 shares of the company. The stock closed at $103.51, resulting in a trade value of about $3.14 million.

The Meta Platforms Trade saw Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKK fund selling 2,160 shares of the Mark Zuckerberg-led company. The stock closed at $582.36, making the sale worth approximately $1.26 million.

President-Elect Donald J. Trump Posts On Truth "I am delighted to nominate Jared Isaacman, an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot, and astronaut, as Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)..."

<a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/11/07/2024/commercial-space-exploration-may-be-about-to-get-a-serious-boostv">https://www.semafor.com/article/11/07/2024/commercial-space-exploration-may-be-about-to-get-a-serious-boostv</a>
Among the industries set to gain most from the reelection of Donald Trump as US president, commercial space may be on the cusp of a new era of innovation.
In his first term, Trump made "<a href="https://spacepolicyonline.com/news/what-will-a-second-trump-term-mean-for-space-policy/">pretty dramatic</a>" space policy moves: He created the US Armed Forces' Space Force; he reestablished Space Command to take charge of military operations in space; and he helped kickstart NASA's program to return humans to the Moon.
&nbsp;
His second term could go further: One of Trump's biggest donors and supporters this cycle has been Elon Musk —&nbsp;his rocket company SpaceX already has multibillion-dollar contracts with NASA and other federal agencies, and could feasibly win far more over the next four years.
And, if Trump's <a href="https://www.semafor.com/newsletter/11/06/2024/semafor-tech-its-elon-musks-world">pledge to let Musk</a> cut costs out of the government comes to pass, Musk could erode some of the regulatory procedures that he argues are holding up SpaceX's development of a rocket to take humans and cargo to Mars.
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, one of SpaceX's top rivals for NASA contracts, could also stand to gain. Company executives reportedly met with Trump just before Bezos' paper The Washington Post <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/10/27/2024/rivals-scramble-to-react-to-washington-post-endorsement-crisis">canceled a planned endorsement</a> of Kamala Harris. After Trump won, Bezos <a href="https://x.com/JeffBezos/status/1854184441511571765">congratulated</a> the Republican on his victory, while the head of Blue Origin hailed his reelection as "<a href="https://x.com/davill/status/1854187755267555432">exciting times for space exploration</a>."

<a href="https://spacenews.com/pentagons-commercial-satellite-internet-services-program-soars-to-13-billion/">https://spacenews.com/pentagons-commercial-satellite-internet-services-program-soars-to-13-billion/</a>
The Defense Department is increasing its projected spending on low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet services more than tenfold, responding to surging demand from across the military, SpaceNews has learned.
The military&#39;s Proliferated Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) Satellite-Based Services program, launched just last year with a $900 million ceiling, has been expanded to $13 billion by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and the Space Systems Command, a spokesperson confirmed.&nbsp;
The dramatic jump in funding underscores how vital high-speed satellite internet has become for military operations, as all branches clamor for the capabilities provided by services like SpaceX&#39;s Starlink. The PLEO contract also is being expanded in anticipation of Amazon&#39;s Project Kuiper entering the LEO internet market in the coming years.
The PLEO program is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract managed by DISA and the Space Systems Command&#39;s Commercial Satellite Communications Office. The program so far selected 20 vendors to compete for specific task orders over a five-year base period with an option for an additional five years.&nbsp;
Before this increase, the PLEO contract <a href="https://spacenews.com/space-force-to-increase-spending-on-low-earth-orbit-satellite-services/">had already spent about $660 million </a>of its original $900 million ceiling. Most of the orders have been for Starshield, the militarized version of the Starlink service.
