Shares of shipping companies are trading higher. The Trump administration issued an executive order to create a maritime action plan.

Shares of shipbuilding-linked stocks are trading higher after President Trump announced a new Office of Shipbuilding, with special tax incentives to relocate the industry back to the US.

In an attempt to revive the U.S. shipbuilding industry and challenge China&#8217;s maritime dominance, the administration under President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing an executive order.
What Happened: The executive order includes 18 measures ranging from raising revenue through fees on Chinese-built ships and cranes entering the U.S. while creating a new office within the National Security Council to enhance the American maritime sector, per a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-administration-readies-order-to-bolster-u-s-shipbuilders-punish-china-d6a2749b?ref=biztoc.com">draft</a> summary reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
The draft order also proposes wage increases for nuclear shipyard workers and an evaluation of government procurement processes, including those of the Navy, conducted by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The proposed measures also include imposition of fees on Chinese commercial vessels docking at U.S. ports.
The draft executive order proposes establishing Maritime Opportunity Zones and a Maritime Security Trust Fund to enhance investments. It also&nbsp;suggests&nbsp;that revenue from fees on&nbsp;Chinese cranes and ships at&nbsp;U.S. ports would fund domestic&nbsp;maritime investments.
In his address to Congress on Tuesday, President Trump announced a new Office of Shipbuilding in the White House providing special tax incentives to relocate this industry back to the U.S. &#8220;To boost our defense industrial base we are also going to resurrect the American shipbuilding industry, including commercial shipbuilding and military shipbuilding,&#8221; stated Trump.

Why It Matters: According to Veson data, China accounted for 75% of global shipping activities in 2024. Besides, support from the government in the form of subsidies, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42938329/us-reportedly-probes-barriers-subsidies-and-unfair-trade-practices-by-china-in-global-shipbuilding-as-trump-tariff-threat-looms">China used unfair practices</a> to dominate the global shipbuilding industry, concluded a U.S. investigation under former President Joe Biden. The findings revealed that China employs financial support, barriers for foreign firms, forced technology transfer, and intellectual property theft to gain an advantage in shipbuilding. China denied any such malpractice, though. 
Meanwhile, the U.S. shipbuilding industry has been grappling with challenges due to high costs, stringent security requirements, and limited capacity for scaling production.

<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>Comparing Star Bulk Carriers'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>, Star Bulk Carriers's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.80%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<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.
