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.

Experts in banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors.

Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

This American Airlines Analyst Is No Longer Bearish; Here Are Top 5 Upgrades For Friday

Lyft's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NYSE">LYFT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.5% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 48.76 million shares sold short, which is 14.1% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.02 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/">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.

<h3>Lyft Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737121521_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Lyft has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Lyft'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>, Lyft's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.01%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

LYFT

Looking Into Lyft's Recent Short Interest

The Magnificent Seven <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">earnings season is here</a>, and while JPMorgan's Doug Anmuth expects strong results, the real test lies in 2025 outlooks.
With tougher comps, FX headwinds, and slowing growth, investors will be watching closely to see if these tech giants can sustain momentum.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Capex: Bet Big Or Go Home</h2>
The AI spending spree isn't slowing down. JPMorgan raised 2025 capex estimates for the big three &#8211; Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) at $97 billion, Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google at $62 billion, and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) at $64 billion &#8211; all exceeding consensus.
While these investments weigh on margins and free cash flow, Anmuth still anticipates margin expansion for Amazon and Google, while Meta&#8217;s growth appears more limited.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon: AWS Takes Center Stage</h2>
With AWS accelerating and GenAI becoming a bigger revenue driver, Amazon&#8217;s North American operating margins could expand by 6.6% in 2025, thanks to regionalization and automation, the analyst says.
Investors are looking for AWS growth of over 20% and operating income between $19 and $20 billion &#8211; key numbers that could drive stock movement.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meta &amp; Google: Monetization Is Key</h2>
Meta is leaning on AI-driven ad tools, Reels, and MetaAI to sustain 19-20% revenue growth (FX-adjusted), though FX could shave off around 100 basis points. Llama 4 is set to boost monetization, but expect higher capex and slight margin compression. 
Meanwhile, Google&#8217;s YouTube ads, Search, and Cloud are expected to perform well in Q4, particularly post-holiday. While regulatory risks persist, investor sentiment appears to be improving.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Verdict</h2>
Anmuth's top picks remain Amazon, Meta and Alphabet. Strong earnings may not be enough—investors need proof that AI investments will deliver actual returns.
