<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 Heico 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 Heico'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>, Heico's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.75%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

U.S. stocks could continue to push higher as traders factor in a boost from Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40547129/nvidia-earnings-round-the-corner-top-investors-in-jensen-huangs-company-set-to-benefit-if-q2-app">quarterly results. </a>The index futures were modestly higher in early trading. The durable goods orders report that is scheduled to be released ahead of the market could be sifted by traders to confirm their hopes for a soft landing. They might also look forward to a speech by a Fed official later in the day.
A key inflation measure that the Federal Reserve considers to be important is imminent, and traders may choose to remain cautious ahead of the data. Despite Nvidia&#8217;s strong gains, the FOMO fear could drive traders toward the stock as they seek to partake in the potential post-earnings gain.

Cues From Last Week: 
Wall Street extended its winning run to two straight weeks, as weak economic data and dovish Fed comments that nearly cemented the fate of a September rate cut brought buyers into the market. That said, the market witnessed intermittent volatility, primarily a result of profit-taking following the recent strong gains.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell dispelled doubts that lingered among some quarters by stating at his Jackson Hole address that the central bank may be ready for rate cuts.
The S&amp;P 500 and the Dow Industrials ended at their highest levels since mid-July and traded just shy of their all-time highs. Small-caps outperformed last week, with the Russell 2,000 Index posting a weekly gain of 3.59% and ending at its highest level in about three weeks.

Insights From Analysts:
Following Powell&#8217;s Jackson Hole address, fund manager Louis Navellier said, &#8220;It looks like we&#8217;re going to have at least three rate cuts this year, which will be on September 18th, on November 7th two days after the election, and on December 18th.&nbsp;&#8220;The Fed is&nbsp;going to get closer to market rates, and that is&nbsp;very positive,&#8221; he added.
The fund managers listed the following as key catalysts that could be supportive of further gains: 
<ul>
<li>Nvidia&#8217;s earnings are due Wednesday, Aug. 28, with Navellier calling for phenomenal guidance from the company</li>
<li>The price consumption expenditure reading of the personal income and spending report, due Aug. 30; the fund manager expects it to be highly favorable.</li>
<li>Pre-holiday optimism ahead of Labor Day and some consolidation after the event</li>
<li>Sept. 10 presidential debate</li>
<li>Sept. 15 quarterly tax filing deadline; Navellier attributed the recent market softness to people selling stocks to pay tax.</li>
<li>Sept. 18 Fed rate cut and accompanying dovish statement as well as a new dot-plot which will likely show Fed officials&#8217; forecast for rate cuts for the rest of the year and the next</li>
</ul>
