Expert Outlook: Cisco Systems Through The Eyes Of 12 Analysts

Southern's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 20.41 million shares sold short, which is 1.86% 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.

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.

New York, New York, April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AI Transportation Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AITR#NASDAQ">AITR</a>), a publicly-listed special purpose acquisition company ("AITR"), today announced that The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("Nasdaq") determined to suspend trading and delist AITR's securities from Nasdaq due to AITR's failure to pay certain fees required by Listing Rule 5250(f), unless AITR appeals this determination. AITR does not intend to request a hearing to appeal the determination, which decision was based on a careful review of numerous factors, including the potential for limiting the significant costs associated with remaining listed on Nasdaq and complying with Nasdaq listing standards.
AITR's securities includes its ordinary shares value $0.0001 per share (the "Ordinary Shares"), its publicly-traded rights whereby each right provides the holder with a right to acquire 1/8th of one Ordinary Share (the "Rights"), and AITR's publicly-traded units, consisting of one Ordinary Share and one Right.
Nasdaq is expected to file a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing) with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the delisting of AITR's securities. Suspension of trading of AITR's securities occurred at the opening of business on April 16, 2025. The removal of AITR's securities from Nasdaq will be effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25.
Following the delisting, AITR expects that the Ordinary Shares will be traded on a market operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (the "OTC"). No assurances can be provided, however, that trading of the Ordinary Shares on the OTC will occur.
On April 11, 2025, AITR received a notice (the "Notice") from Nasdaq stating that AITR's failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 also serves a basis for delisting AITR's securities from Nasdaq.
