<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 Lattice Semiconductor'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>, Lattice Semiconductor's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.82%, 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>

Shares of semiconductor stocks are trading lower amid overall market weakness. A drop in the price of NVIDIA may weigh down the sector.

Lattice Semiconductor's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LSCC#NYSE">LSCC</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.4% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.12 million shares sold short, which is 9.72% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.04 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Lattice Semiconductor 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 Lattice Semiconductor'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>, Lattice Semiconductor's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.90%, 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>

Shares of semiconductor stocks are trading higher amid overall market strength as stock rebound following upbeat US economic data, which could be alleviating recession worries.

Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) stock is trading higher Monday after BofA Securities analyst Vivek Arya <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/COHR/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">upgraded the stock</a> rating from Neutral to Buy with a price target of $75, up from $65.
Arya expects a start of recovery in the second half of the calendar year 2024 and is forecasted to accelerate 13% sales CAGR from fiscal 2024-2027.
The most important driver will be Coherent&#8217;s datacom transceiver business (40% of sales), which will be levered to high-speed Ethernet connections between servers and switches in data centers, as per the analyst.
Arya highlighted the rapidly growing size of large language models, which is expanding AI clusters to 100K+ accelerators versus 30K currently, driving exponentially higher connectivity requirements.
Arya noted improved prospects for Coherent to double proforma-EPS to $4 by fiscal 2026, backed by growth reacceleration to 13%+ CAGR driven by the surging AI optical transceiver market.
Arya expressed conviction in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39143020/why-coherent-shares-are-seeing-blue-skies-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">the new CEO</a>, Jim Anderson, who is driving operational improvements, especially gross margin expansion from 36% to 40%+ and EBIT margins towards 20%—25% from 15%. CEO and industry veteran Jim Anderson is well regarded for his prior turnaround at Lattice Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LSCC#NASDAQ">LSCC</a>).
The new management could also help focus Coherent from efforts currently spread across telco, industrial, auto (Silicon Carbide), and consumer markets, Arya said.
The analyst writes that free cash flow expansion towards 10% from 2% could help de-lever the balance sheet ($4.1 billion debt currently), which is a 30% drag on reported EPS.
The price target is based on 22x calendar 2025 price-to-earnings versus 19x prior, reflecting greater confidence in operational focus and execution under newly hired CEO Jim Anderson.
Arya projected fourth-quarter revenue and EPS of $1.28 billion and $0.60.
Price Action: COHR shares are up 4.26% at $66.04 at the last check Monday.
