Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

Keysight Techs's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEYS#NYSE">KEYS</a>) short percent of float has risen 11.11% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.42 million shares sold short, which is 1.8% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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 Keysight Techs 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 Keysight Techs'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>, Keysight Techs's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.91%, which means the company has less 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>

This enables Samsung to integrate a powerful AI model in their vRAN software solution, which will be demonstrated at Keysight's booth, during Mobile World Congress 2025 (#5F41 Hall 5). The project is being developed at the AI-RAN Alliance as a work item.
Operators face significant challenges with traditional RAN performance, including limited throughput, high latency, and inefficient resource utilization. In commercial 5G deployments, uplink performance is often a concern, especially at the cell edge where limited user equipment (UE) transmission power affects the base station's received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Conventional channel estimation algorithms struggle in low SNR regions due to excessive noise. AI modeling offers a new approach by enabling precise channel estimation, optimizing resource allocation, and reducing power consumption. This enhances system capacity, improves network efficiency, and delivers superior user experiences.
<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.keysight.com%2Fus%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fchannel-emulators.html&amp;esheet=54218577&amp;newsitemid=20250304074308&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Keysight%26%238217%3Bs+Channel+Emulation+Solutions&amp;index=2&amp;md5=25f20cf36c32f63f02060dd1140b6616">Keysight's Channel Emulation Solutions</a> provide channel generation capabilities for a wide variety of channel conditions, along with real-time signal processing and radio frequency (RF) capabilities. Samsung successfully generated advanced AI models for channel estimation in the uplink receiver, resulting in significant gains observed in the lab environment. For example, simulated experiments showed a 30% better cell edge throughput by using an AI model for channel estimation instead of the current static rules-based approach. The performance evaluation of this AI model was conducted using an end-to-end setup that included Samsung's radio point and a distributed unit (DU) based on the <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.nvidia.com%2Faerial&amp;esheet=54218577&amp;newsitemid=20250304074308&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=NVIDIA&amp;index=3&amp;md5=f9347ce85af1376f412bbb75797014ee">NVIDIA</a><a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.nvidia.com%2Faerial&amp;esheet=54218577&amp;newsitemid=20250304074308&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=AI+Aerial&amp;index=4&amp;md5=23962324fcf1f1b6ee423c5ba030b860"> AI Aerial</a> platform.
