Flex's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLEX#NYSE">FLEX</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.38% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.41 million shares sold short, which is 2.4% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.55 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 Flex 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 Flex'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>, Flex's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.90%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) shares are making new 52-week highs Thursday morning. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40931562/cathie-woods-ark-invest-continues-dumping-robinhood-and-palantir-shares-as-interest-rates-fall">what&#8217;s going on</a>.
What Happened: Palantir shares are on watch Thursday after the company was awarded a new $99.8 million contract by the United States Army.
According to a <a href="https://www.defense.gov/News/Contracts/Contract/Article/3910169/">contract update</a> posted on the U.S. Department of Defense&#8217;s (DOD) website, Palantir has been awarded a $99.804 million firm-fixed-price contract that involves user licenses for the Maven Smart System AI tool, ancillary software support and hardware.
The DOD release states that the contract has an estimated completion date of Sept. 24, 2029.&nbsp;Work locations and funding will be determined with each order.
Palantir was previously awarded a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/39079527/palantir-stock-shrugs-off-cramers-sell-call-as-480m-ai-contract-for-army-fuels-premarket-rally">$480 million firm-fixed-price contract</a> by the U.S. Army for the&nbsp;Maven Smart System&nbsp;prototype in May. That contract has an estimated completion date of May 28, 2029.
Palantir&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40172453/palantir-q2-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customer-count-up-41-driven-by-strength-in-us-commercial#">latest quarterly results</a> showed that U.S. government revenue grew 24% year-over-year in the second quarter to $278 million. Total government revenue was up 23% year-over-year to $371 million.
Palantir is not due to report earnings again until sometime around the end of October. Analysts are currently forecasting earnings of 9 cents per share and revenue of $701.13 million, according to estimates from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Palantir shares are also benefiting from strength across broader markets on the heels of a 0.5% rate cut from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday. This week&#8217;s 0.5% rate cut brought the&nbsp;target fed funds rate&nbsp;to a new range&nbsp;between 4.75% and 5%, down from a 23-year high of 5.25% to 5.5%. It was also the first rate cut since March 2020.
