As of Feb. 6, 2025, two stocks in the industrials sector could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.

FuelCell Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCEL#NASDAQ">FCEL</a>) shares are trading higher. The company on Thursday announced that it began testing its electrolyzer for a potential commercial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43525539/idaho-national-laboratory-testing-of-fuelcell-energys-electrolyzer-to-show-further-commercializati">nuclear power opportunity</a>.
What Happened: FuelCell announced its solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) system has started a testing and validation period at the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s Idaho National Laboratory (INL). 
The project will study how hydrogen production operations can help nuclear plants diversify and increase their profitability by switching between electricity production and hydrogen generation. The testing will also investigate the potential of advanced small modular reactors paired with FuelCell&#8217;s utility-scale electrolyzers.
&#8220;Pairing FuelCell Energy&#8217;s electrolyzer with nuclear plants is an excellent example of the ‘all-of-the-above&#8217; energy strategy that is necessary to meet the needs of a strained electric infrastructure,&#8221; said Jason Few, president and CEO of FuelCell Energy.
&#8220;Nuclear energy is a baseload power source that when paired with FuelCell Energy&#8217;s electrolyzer can ensure that every kilowatt of power is converted into a usable or stored energy resource. FuelCell Energy&#8217;s electrolysis platform can enable&nbsp;100%&nbsp;smart energy utilization.&#8221;
The testing is expected to show that the technology can reduce the cost of clean hydrogen production by converting 100% of the electricity and water fed into the system into zero-carbon hydrogen. 
The FuelCell Energy system will be exhibited to members of the global energy industry who visit INL. Additionally,&nbsp;hydrogen produced by the FuelCell system will be used for ongoing research at the facility.

Sonos, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONO#NASDAQ">SONO</a>) revealed a major restructuring plan that will reduce its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1314727/000131472725000019/sono-20250204.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">workforce by about 12%</a>.
Finalized on February 4, 2025, this initiative is designed to enhance the company&#8217;s operational efficiency and financial framework.
The workforce reduction is expected to impact about <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1314727/000131472725000019/exhibit991.htm" rel="noreferrer noopener">200 positions</a> in various regions, subject to local laws and consultations.
Sonos expects restructuring expenses between $15 million and $18 million, mainly for severance pay and employee benefits.

These costs are anticipated to be recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
&#8220;One thing I&#8217;ve observed firsthand is that we&#8217;ve become mired in too many layers that have made collaboration and decision-making harder than it needs to be. So across the company today we are reorganizing into flatter, smaller, and more focused teams,&#8221; said CEO Tom Conrad.
The audio equipment maker&#8217;s former CEO, Patrick Spence, stepped down from the role in January, following an app update that resulted in a decrease in sales and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43077155/sonos-interim-ceo-hits-the-right-notes-in-employee-letter-heres-the-key-takeaway" rel="noreferrer noopener">customer satisfaction for Sonos</a>.
Although products like the Sonos Ace headphones and Arc Ultra soundbar have been well-received, Sonos still faces a difficult path ahead in rebuilding its brand and strengthening customer relationships.
For the first quarter FY25, the company reported revenue and adjusted EPS of $551 million and 64 cents, both surpassing the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43526866/sonos-reports-first-quarter-fiscal-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">analysts consensus estimates</a>.

A recent GZERO/Abacus Data poll asked 1,500 eligible voters which country currently supplies the most oil and gas to the United States. While 53% of Americans believe <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42300095/7-benefits-of-doing-business-in-saudi-arabia-ksa-company-formation">Saudi Arabia</a> is the biggest source of foreign oil, only 22% correctly said Canada. However, Canada actually supplies 61.6% of all U.S. crude oil imports—with 4.0 million barrels per day, far surpassing any other country, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

</ul>
So, if you ask most Americans which country sends the most oil to the U.S., they'd probably say Saudi Arabia. It makes sense—Saudi Arabia is one of the world's biggest oil producers, and people often hear about its role in global energy as it is often in the news when it comes to oil prices and production. The nation is a member of OPEC, a consortium of oil-producing countries that affects world supplies. In the meantime, despite Canada&#8217;s significant contribution to US oil imports, its oil receives little public attention.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Does U.S. Foreign Oil Actually Come From?</h2>
According to 2024 data from the Canadian Energy Centre, the top suppliers of foreign oil to the U.S. are:
<ul>
<li>Canada – 61.6%</li>
<li>Mexico – 9.6%</li>
<li>Saudi Arabia – 4.3%</li>
<li>Colombia – 3.8%</li>
<li>Venezuela – 3.3%</li>
</ul>
Not only is Saudi Arabia far from being the largest supplier, but it doesn't even come in second place. Mexico provides more oil to the U.S. than Saudi Arabia does.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why is Canadian Oil so Important?</h2>
The U.S. and Canada have a strong energy relationship, and Canada sends most of its oil to the U.S. through pipelines. While the U.S. does produce its own oil, a lot of it is light crude. The problem is that many American refineries are built to process heavy crude, which Canada supplies in abundance.
Key reasons why U.S. refineries rely on Canadian oil are heavy crude processing, pipeline access and energy security.&nbsp;
Many U.S. refineries, especially in the Midwest and Gulf Coast, are specifically designed to handle heavy crude from Canada, not the light crude produced domestically or from Saudi Arabia.
Unlike oil from the Middle East, which must be shipped across the ocean, Canadian oil is delivered directly through pipelines, making it cheaper and more reliable.
While oil from Saudi Arabia and Venezuela is vulnerable to production cuts and geopolitical threats, Canada is a stable and friendly neighbor.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's Tariffs Disrupt This Balance</h2>
On Feb. 1, President Donald Trump announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43442219/why-beer-tequila-avocados-cars-iphone-prices-could-rise-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-to-hurt-several-sectors">25% tariff on imports</a> from Canada and Mexico, including a 10% tariff on Canadian energy products. These tariffs are supposedly meant to address concerns about immigration and drug trafficking, but they could also make oil and gas more expensive in the U.S.
After Canada and Mexico announced retaliatory tariffs and agreed to reinforce their countries&#8217; borders, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43450261/trump-trudeau-strike-border-security-deal-tariffs-on-canada-paused-for-at-least-30-days">agreed to a 30-day pause</a> on the measures to allow negotiations. However, if the tariffs go into full effect, they could reshape North American trade relationships and force the U.S. to seek alternative, less reliable oil sources.
In theory, the U.S. could import more oil from Saudi Arabia or Venezuela, but it wouldn't be an easy swap.&nbsp;
With Trump's new tariffs looming, this reliance is being tested. If trade restrictions on Canadian oil go into effect, the impact on fuel prices and economic stability could be significant.

<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.
