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.
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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

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.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Financial Stocks With Over 9% Dividend Yields

NIO Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>) is experiencing a slight increase in its share price in premarket trading on Friday, as the company is reportedly expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">to be included in a major Hong Kong stock index.</a>
This inclusion is anticipated to bring passive investment inflows, which could provide a boost to NIO's stock despite its recent performance challenges, <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/01/17/nio-expected-hk-hang-seng-index/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports </a>CnEV Post.
The Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited will announce the results of its semi-annual review of the Hang Seng family of indexes after market hours on February 21, per the report, which cited&nbsp;Chinese brokerage CICC. The changes will take effect on Monday, March 10.

The adjustment will include indices such as the Hang Seng Index, Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, Hang Seng Tech Index and Hang Seng Composite Index, the report said, citing analyst Liu Gang&#8217;s team.
Recently, NIO&nbsp;launched its new affordable EV brand Onvo in May. The brand started selling its first vehicle – the Onvo L60 – in late September and since then, Nio&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42909739" rel="noreferrer noopener">sales have been on the rise.</a>
The Onvo L60 is a mid-size electric SUV that starts at 206,900 yuan (~$28,300) with the battery pack included, much lower than Tesla's affordable models Model 3 or Model Y in China.
In September, NIO&nbsp;delivered 832 Onvo L60s despite having only a few selling days.
In October, the first full month of sales, Onvo deliveries rose to 4,319. In November, deliveries rose to 5,082, implying rising demand for the vehicle.
Price Action: NIO shares are trading higher by 1.2% to $4.21 premarket at last check Friday.

Webster Finl Q4 Earnings Assessment

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted marketing authorization for 20 nicotine pouch products from ZYN, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b43037438/fda-authorizes-all-zyn-nicotine-pouch-products-currently-marketed-by-swedish-match-in-the-u-s">brand of nicotine products</a> from Philip Morris International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>). 
The ZYN nicotine pouches, small sachets containing nicotine meant to be placed between the gum and lip, are the first products of their kind to gain FDA approval.
This decision follows an extensive review, confirming that the ZYN nicotine pouches comply with the public health criteria set by the 2009 <a href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-authorizes-marketing-20-zyn-nicotine-pouch-products-after-extensive-scientific-review#:~:text=Today%2C%20the%20U.S.%20Food%20and,following%20an%20extensive%20scientific%20review.">Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act</a>.
These standards assess the risks and benefits of tobacco products, especially concerning the overall population&#8217;s health.
The FDA&#8217;s assessment showed that these products present lower health risks than cigarettes and other smokeless tobacco items such as snus and moist snuff, due to their reduced levels of harmful chemicals. 
FDA specialists noted that these products could be beneficial for adults who fully transition from cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. 
The FDA also observed that, despite the rise in sales of these products in recent years, the likelihood of youth usage remains minimal.

The 2024 National Youth Tobacco Survey revealed that just 1.8% of U.S. middle and high school students reported using nicotine pouches.
"It's critical that the manufacturer market these products responsibly to prevent youth use," said director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, Brian King.
Strict rules have been established to guarantee that ZYN nicotine pouch ads are directed solely at adults aged 21 and over.
The FDA also specified further precautions, including restricting mass media advertising and mandating that actors in commercials be at least 35 years old or made to appear that age. 
Additionally, the FDA emphasized that although these products are approved for sale, they are not deemed safe and the agency will keep monitoring their effect on public health.
The approved nicotine pouch products include flavors such as ZYN Chill, ZYN Cinnamon, ZYN Cool Mint and others, each available in 3 mg and 6 mg strengths.
The FDA&#8217;s approval applies solely to these products and does not cover other nicotine pouches or similar items made by ZYN.
The company is not allowed to assert reduced risk claims for these products unless it files a separate application for a modified risk tobacco product.
Price Action: PM shares closed higher by 1.08% at $119.80 on Thursday.

ZYN Nicotine Pouches Receive FDA Marketing Approval

President Joe Biden has granted clemency to nearly 2,500 non-violent drug offenders as his last hours in the White House wind down. 
"Today, I am commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug offenses who are serving disproportionately long sentences compared to the sentences they would receive today under current law, policy, and practice," Biden said in a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2025/01/17/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-additional-clemency-actions/">statement</a> Friday. "Today's clemency action provides relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack and powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for drug crimes." 
No word yet as to whether <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42177984/joe-biden-how-about-pardoning-non-violent-cannabis-prisoners-along-with-those-thanksgiving-turkeys">non-violent cannabis prisoners</a> will be involved in this group of people receiving commutations.

The clemency is expected to benefit federal prisoners who are serving or were convicted of crack cocaine-related crimes, <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/01/17/g-s1-41788/biden-pardons-commutations-drug-sentences">noted</a> NPR. The White House said these individuals had received sentences that were longer than they would be under today's drug policies and laws.
Biden told USA Today in a Jan. 8 interview that he would likely address sentencing disparities for offenses involving crack cocaine. &#8220;This action is an important step toward righting historic wrongs, correcting sentencing disparities, and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their families and communities after spending far too much time behind bars,&#8221; he told Susan Page.
The Biden administration often criticized President Ronald Reagan's Anti-Drug Abuse Act that led to the arrest and imprisonment of thousands, a vast majority Black people. Due to automatic sentencing requirements, some people spent decades behind bars for possessing crack or cocaine.
Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42258387/biden-grants-full-and-unconditional-pardon-to-hunter-i-hope-americans-will-understand">granted a full and unconditional pardon</a> to his son Hunter Biden in early December 2024, drawing criticism from Democrats and Republicans and many in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42346107/critics-urge-biden-to-free-non-violent-pot-offenders-after-pardoning-son">the cannabis community</a>.
Just two weeks after his son's pardon, Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42466804/biden-commutes-1500-sentences-grants-39-pardons-pot-prisoners-included-marks-single-day-record">commuted the sentences</a> of nearly 1,500 individuals and pardoned 39 others convicted of nonviolent offenses.
Biden has said he would consider additional pardons, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/us/politics/biden-commute-sentences-drug-offenders.html">according</a> to the NY Times, which could include preemptive pardons for former elected officials who President-elect Donald &nbsp;Trump has indicated he may target. &nbsp;

USA Housing Starts For December 1.499M Vs 1.330M Est.; 1.289M Prior (Revised To 1.294M)

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42499868/zillows-top-trends-for-homes-in-2025">Zillow </a>has made its much-anticipated prediction for the hottest housing market of 2025. It's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/01/36580130/winter-chills-to-housing-thrills-buffalos-surprising-surge-as-the-hottest-real-estate-market-of-2024">Buffalo</a>, New York. That might raise a few eyebrows – as the snowy New York City on the Canadian border experienced years of unemployment and urban dereliction barely a decade ago. However, this marks the second year in a row that Buffalo has taken Zillow's top honor. So what gives?&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Affordability And Jobs</h2>
Affordability is the root of Buffalo's ascendancy, backed by a deluge of new jobs, which means the once unglamorous industrial city is attracting hordes of new residents. As Zillow explains:&nbsp;

</ul>
"Buffalo has the most new jobs per new home permitted." New jobs and owner-occupied homes have allowed Buffalo to finally shake off its image as a desolate urban wasteland lacking in jobs and culture. According to the NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association, from 2018-2023, an estimated $22.6 billion of development was launched within the eight counties in the Buffalo Niagara region. New investment in medical, manufacturing and a clean energy cluster expansion caused increased numbers of residential real estate, hotels, industrial plants and food processing facilities.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Incentives And Revitalization</h2>
Buffalo's renaissance began in 2012 when – according to The New York Times–New York's then-governor andrew M. Cuomo, pledged $1 billion in grants and tax credits as part of a revitalization effort. The residential boom has developed new apartments in empty warehouses, former municipal buildings and longtime parking lots.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tesla's Bold Ambition</h2>
Not every investment turned out the way New York would have hoped. According to the Wall Street Journal, the state spent nearly $1 billion on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42938578/jamie-dimon-calls-elon-musk-an-extraordinary-talent-jp-morgan-ceo-shares-why-trumps-election-victory-didnt-surprise-him">Elon Musk'</a>s ambitious plan to house the largest solar-panel factory in the Western Hemisphere – a quarter-mile-long facility with 1.2 million square feet of industrial space turning out enough solar-panel shingles to cover 1,000 roofs each week. It never happened. By 2023, they were averaging 21 installations per week. The state now owns the industrial space and leases it to Tesla. However, the $240 million worth of solar panel manufacturing equipment the state bought was sold at a discount or scrapped. A state comptroller's audit found just 54 cents of economic benefit for every subsidy dollar spent on the factory.
"It was a bad deal," state Sen. Sean Ryan, a Buffalo Democrat, said. "A cautionary tale is you can't give governors too much power to get on the phone with egotistical billionaires."
Despite this, Tesla has been a big investor in Buffalo overall. Jason Connell, a spokesman for the state agency overseeing the project, said, "Tesla has made substantial contributions to the local economy, aligning with the region's overall economic revitalization."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Buoyant Markets Echo Buffalo's Trajectory</h2>
Other markets on Zillow's list echo Buffalo, where jobs have bolstered affordable housing. Indianapolis, Providence, Hartford and Philadelphia round out the top five. However, only Indianapolis is expected to show equity gains in 2025, as high interest rates limit buyer activity. The other markets in the top 10, St. Louis, Charlotte, Kansas City, Richmond, VA and Salt Lake City, have certain similar traits; they are small cities with their roots in industrial, blue-collar work that have embraced future-proof industries in tech, medicine and education and are generally more affordable than some larger American cities, bringing a younger demographic to town.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
