The U.S. Energy Department (DoE) is reportedly contemplating substantial reductions, potentially halting&nbsp;nearly $10 billion in federal&nbsp;funding for clean-energy projects. This move could jeopardize high-profile collaborations with&nbsp;Exxon Mobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>).
What Happened: The proposed cuts could disrupt contracts with energy companies involved in&nbsp;hydrogen, carbon capture, long-duration energy&nbsp;storage, and other technologies, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/doge-comes-for-clean-energy-putting-exxon-and-occidental-projects-at-risk-565bd42f">reported</a>. These reductions are a part of President Donald Trump's broader initiative through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to reduce the size and cost of government, and could result in thousands of job losses at the Department of Energy (DOE), according to the report. 
DOGE&#8217;s&nbsp;efforts, overseen by Trump advisor Elon Musk, have already resulted in significant contract reductions and&nbsp;job cuts across the federal&nbsp;workforce. The $10 billion figure represents&nbsp;potential funding slashes in two&nbsp;DOE offices and a portion of the DOGE-driven cancellations being considered across the Energy Department.
Several key partnerships are at risk, including projects with Exxon, NextEra Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>), and Occidental Petroleum, as the DOE considers cutting support. Additionally, funding for four regional hydrogen hubs—mainly in Democratic-leaning areas—is also under review.
DOE did not respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.

Why It Matters: The proposed cuts follow President Trump&#8217;s earlier move to freeze billions in federal funding, affecting projects in clean energy, conservation, and transportation across the United States. This move&nbsp;in February has created <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43628767/trump-freezes-billions-in-federal-funding-jobs-and-projects-in-clean-energy-conservation-and-transportation-left-in-limbo">uncertainty </a>for thousands of workers and local economies.
Moreover, in April 2025, Trump unveiled plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44701436/trump-unleashes-beautiful-clean-coal-policies-as-wall-street-tanks-sp-500-hits-1-year-low">revive U.S. coal production</a>, marking a dramatic policy reversal from the climate-focused agendas of the Biden and Obama administrations. This shift in policy and the proposed funding cuts could significantly impact the clean energy sector and its stakeholders.
Meanwhile, DOGE has drawn severe criticism for its mass firings. Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44484549/mark-cuban-on-doge-government-cuts-this-isnt-a-corporate-turnaround-this-is-the-united-states-of-america">warned </a>that abruptly cutting federal programs, agencies, and jobs without considering the economic impact could harm local economies. He noted that in some cities, up to 9% of the workforce depends on government jobs, and sudden cuts could lead to job losses, falling home values, and economic decline.
iShares Global Clean Energy UCITS ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICLN#NASDAQ">ICLN</a>) and Invesco Solar ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) climbed 1.77% and 1.19%, respectively, on Thursday.

Wall Street&#8217;s worst sell-off since the 2020 pandemic has sent several major indices into correction or bear territory, prompting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44697600/stocks-rebound-chipmakers-soar-on-trade-deal-hopes-bitcoin-lags-whats-driving-markets-tuesday">a flight to safety</a>. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs that provide exposure </a>to consumer staples, utilities, and healthcare—sectors that have historically been considered defensive during downturns—are now in the limelight.
Some of the top choices are:
<ul>
<li>SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Consumer Staples (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLP#NYSE">XLP</a>): This exchange-traded fund follows businesses that make common items such as food, drinks, and household goods. Sales of these necessities would generally continue regardless of economic downturns. Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>), Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Walmart, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) are among its holdings.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SPDR Select Sector Fund — Utilities (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>): Utility firms offer essential services such as electricity and water, so they would be favorites among income-hungry investors amid times of greater uncertainty. The portfolio includes NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) and Pg&amp;E Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Vanguard Health Care ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VHT#NYSE">VHT</a>): Healthcare spending generally holds up in tough times, and VHT provides exposure to a blend of drugstore chains, medical device manufacturers, and healthcare providers. Eli Lilly &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) are among the top holdings.</li>

Dividend-oriented ETFs are also attracting attention. The iShares Core High Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HDV#NYSE">HDV</a>), which owns a portfolio of financially healthy U.S. firms that pay high dividend yields, protects against declining stock prices with consistent income.
Value investing is also gaining traction. The Vanguard Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTV#NYSE">VTV</a>), which tracks large-cap stocks that are undervalued relative to their fundamentals, is considered a less risky means of remaining invested while reducing exposure to growth stocks with volatile price swings.
The move into defensive positioning occurs as investors process the latest ratcheting up of U.S.-China trade tensions. According to the White House, the U.S. tariff rate on Chinese imports will spike to 104% at 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday unless China removes retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.
The risk of blanket tariffs — a 10% base tariff on all imports to the U.S. and higher rates on major trading partners such as the EU, India, Taiwan, and Vietnam — has unsettled markets. Uncertainty about a supposedly planned 90-day tariff break, which the White House <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44671308/stock-market-surge-evaporates-as-headline-roulette-plagues-traders-fake-news-white-house-says-in-response-to">called &#8220;fake news</a>,&#8221; contributed to the fluctuations.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy?_gl=1&#x2A;1mnei8t&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;NzQyMjgxNjUuMTczNzYwNzI4NQ..&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;ZGVsZXRlZA..&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTc0NDAyMzE1Ny4yNDYuMS4xNzQ0MDIzMjMyLjAuMC4w">JPMorgan now sees</a> a U.S. recession in the second half of 2025 at 60%, and Goldman Sachs has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44662991/goldman-sachs-raises-risk-of-recession-to-45-jefferies-calls-tariffs-a-free-hall-pass-for-tech-giants-to-reset-their-goals">increased the chances</a> of a recession in the next 12 months to 45%.
In that environment, strategists say it&#8217;s not about going after gains — it&#8217;s about limiting losses.

As Trump Tariffs Spark Panic, Investors Rush Into These 5 'Recession-Proof' ETFs

NextEra Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.81% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 41.90 million shares sold short, which is 2.04% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.27 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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744034446_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for NextEra Energy 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 NextEra Energy'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>, NextEra Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.29%, 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>

Peering Into NextEra Energy's Recent Short Interest

U.S. stock futures were swinging between gains and losses on Tuesday after a mixed session on Monday. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed in premarket trading.
President Donald Trump&#8216;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221;, the term he&#8217;s used for April 2nd, the day of incoming reciprocal tariffs, preceded a drop in stock prices.
S&amp;P 500 declined by 4.59% for the first quarter of 2025, whereas the Nasdaq 100 was down over 10%.
With the 10-year Treasury yield at 4.18% and the two-year at 3.87%, the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool </a>shows markets pricing in an 86.8% likelihood of the Federal Reserve maintaining current interest rates through its May meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
After the S&amp;P 500 index declined 4.59% in the first quarter, marking its largest quarterly underperformance against global markets in 37 years, Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, cited historical data in his latest X post and stated that &#8220;April does better after a weak Q1.&#8221;
The average return in April stood at 3.1% after a poor first quarter, however, the average return for the full year after a bad first quarter stood at just 6.6%.

Jim Cramer: Stryker Is A 'Good' Company, Says He Likes This Utilities Stock

Market turmoil due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariffs is shaking up stocks</a>, but Hightower Advisors Chief Investment Strategist and Portfolio Manager Stephanie Link sees opportunity in the chaos.
With $5.4 billion in assets under management, Link is putting money to work in four stocks she believes have strong upside: Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Palo Alto Networks Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PANW#NASDAQ">PANW</a>), Target Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) and NextEra Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>).
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon: Dominating Retail Even In Uncertain Times</h1>
"In terms of retail, the big are getting bigger," Link says. "Amazon actually grew their market share 410 basis points in the past quarter, and profitability is on the rise."
Link sees further acceleration in Amazon's growth in the second half of the year, despite some capacity constraints. She believes its continued margin expansion and dominance in e-commerce make it a standout pick for long-term investors.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Palo Alto Networks: A Cybersecurity Bargain?</h1>
"I only started buying Palo Alto last month, as I am a big believer in cybersecurity, and Palo Alto is one of the top five players in the sector," Link explains.
She notes that while the stock is down 14% since her initial purchase, its push into platformization could unlock a $15 billion annualized recurring revenue opportunity. With a valuation still cheaper than CrowdStrike's, she views Palo Alto as a compelling long-term buy.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Target: A Retail Recovery Play</h1>
"Target may seem like a bit of a risk, as they're currently down 24% since February, but we are seeing hints of improvement," says Link.
The retailer has struggled with product mix and declining traffic, but recent quarters have shown signs of a turnaround. Link believes that if Target can build on this momentum and deliver consistent results, investor confidence will return.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Nextera Energy: A Rare Discount On A Top Utility</h1>
"I had never owned Nextera because it has always been too expensive, on average trading at 30 times price-to-sales, but it is now trading at 18 times and is down 15% from its high," Link says.
She highlights its joint venture with GE Vernova, which focuses on natural gas plants and energy solutions for data centers, as a strong long-term driver. With a solid balance sheet and a rare discount, Link sees Nextera as a compelling buy at these levels.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Strategic Buy-the-Dip Approach</h1>
Link's strategy highlights a key theme — finding quality companies with strong fundamentals at a discount.
As the market reacts to tariff uncertainty, she's taking advantage of price swings to add to positions she believes will outperform in the long run. 
Investors looking for buying opportunities amid the chaos may want to take notes from this billion-dollar fund's latest moves.

Stephanie Link: 'Amazon's Market Share is Soaring' – Insights On Amazon, Palo Alto Networks, Target & Nextera Energy

Goldman Sachs analyst Carly Davenport reaffirmed a Buy rating on NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) with a price forecast of $94, after the company&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NEE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Development Day on March 18 in Florida</a>.
The analyst writes that the company emphasized renewables as a key solution to current supply chain challenges and the higher costs of building gas power plants.
Notably, the analyst notes that management continues to face challenges in building new gas generation due to supply chain issues and rising costs.
The company targets power demand to grow by 55% by 2040, including 17% from data centers, 11% from residential and 11% from transportation, notes the analyst.
Following the event, Davenport says they are positive about the company&#8217;s competitive advantages in generation and transmission development.
This, coupled with earnings growth, favorable regulatory jurisdiction exposure, and a solid balance sheet, should support a premium valuation, adds the analyst.
In January, the company reported fourth-quarter revenue of&nbsp;$5.385 billion, missing the estimate and adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$0.53, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43198548/nextera-energy-reports-mixed-q4-results-announces-partnership-with-ge-vernova-for-grid-solutions" rel="noreferrer noopener">in line with the consensus</a>.
