<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.

Analysts Offer Insights on Technology Companies: ZoomInfo Technologies (ZI), Parsons (PSN) and VIZIO Holding (VZIO)

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
The rapid growth of high-flying <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/">tech stocks</a> <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/02/28/investing/premarket-stocks-trading/index.html">fueled by advances in artificial intelligence (AI)</a> has led to an ongoing debate: Do the recent gains constitute a temporary bubble or a new sustainable trend?



Critics of the current valuations point to similarities with the unsustainable overexuberance of the high-flying tech stock of the late 1990s dot-com boom. However, whilst that earlier rally ended in a sharp correction, the <a href="https://qz.com/ai-stocks-nvidia-overvalued-dot-com-bubble-1851287271">underlying technologies continued to develop</a>, and many companies have since <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0711/5-successful-companies-that-survived-the-dotcom-bubble.aspx">reached new heights</a>.



Institutional investors have recently <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/hedge-funds-unload-tech-stocks-after-going-all-in-before-nvidia-1.2039168">secured profits</a> from high-flying tech stocks following the strong rally in major indices to new highs. Whilst this may reflect a prudent rebalancing of portfolios, some high-flying tech stocks still appear largely overextended and potentially exposed to a significant correction in the short to medium term.



Three high-flying tech stocks currently displaying high-flying valuations combined with an overbought Relative Strength Index (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rsi-stock-quote/">RSI</a>) are candidates for take-profit consideration.



<h2>Zoominfo Technologies (ZI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/zi-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="Illustrative Editorial of ZOOMINFO.COM website homepage. ZOOMINFO logo visible on display screen."><div>Source: II.studio / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Zoominfo (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/zi-stock-quote/">ZI</a><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/zi-stock-quote/">)</a> is among the most<a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/sector/technology/"> overbought high-flying tech stocks</a>, with an RSI level of 79. Its <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/sector/technology/">price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 62.2x</a>, well above the average for the tech sector, which is 44.8.



The company reported<a href="https://ir.zoominfo.com/news-releases/news-release-details/zoominfo-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2023-financial"> growth on the top and bottom lines</a>, and even though EPS grew an astonishing 70% from the prior year, it was still<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/zoominfo-technologies-full-2023-earnings-111056776.html"> below analyst consensus</a>. That wasn&rsquo;t a problem for investors, who<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-zoominfo-technologies-stock-soared-010345679.html"> pushed the high-flying tech stock up 14%</a> following the investor release thanks to expectations around its AI solutions. However, since then, the share price has been trending lower, as its guidance is pretty much in line with expectations. This could mean that traders overplayed their hand following the earnings, and the stock price may adjust lower in the short term to align with its earnings.&#8203;



<h2>Ziff Davis (ZD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="165" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/mashablemsn-300x165.jpg" alt=""><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Ziff Davis (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/zd-stock-quote/">ZD</a>) is also well into an overbought RSI territory at 76.9, but its P/E ratio of 83.5 is even higher.



ZD has been on a rollercoaster this year, moving in line with other high-flying tech stocks. It reported a <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240221537366/en/">drop in earnings</a> over the prior year. Its <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ziff-davis-inc-zd-reports-113206435.html">declining cash flow</a> for the full year would hinder the company from initiating dividends or other mechanisms to support the high-flying tech stock price.



The company owns a portfolio of web content sites, such as Mashable, PCMag, and BabyCenter, which could face headwinds as many online media companies are <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/feb/15/layoffs-vox-media-nowthis-intercept">forced into layoffs</a> or <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/feb/22/vice-media-layoffs-cease-publishing">shutting down</a> during the current downturn affecting previously high-flying tech stocks.



<h2>Interlink Electronics (LINK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/chip-stocks1600-1-300x169.png" alt="Silicon Dies are being Extracted by a Pick and Place Machine from Wafer and Attached to Substrate. Computer Chip Manufacturing at Factory. Close-up of Semiconductor Packaging Process. Chip stocks"><div>Source: IM Imagery / Shutterstock.com</div></div>&#8203;Interlink Electronics (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/link-stock-quote/">LINK</a>) is trading close to overbought levels based on its RSI reading of 71. However, its <a href="https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-pe-ratio">P/E ratio of 132x</a>, over five times that of the S&amp;P 500 index, remains a concern. The human-machine interface device supplier has yet to report its Q4 earnings results, typically announced in late March. It remains unclear whether the underlying performance of the high-tech stock supports its valuation.



Since reporting its Q3 results, where available cash has reduced substantially, <a href="https://www.interlinkelectronics.com/hubfs/SEC%20Filings/23-24508-1_Interlink_Electronics_Inc_10-Q-AsFiled.pdf">LINK has been largely stable</a>. Despite having fewer funds on hand, the CEO commented optimistically about further acquisitions being pursued rather than returning capital to shareholders through dividends. If Interlink cannot maintain the 60% revenue growth as previously reported, its lofty share price valuation against high-flying tech stocks may come under pressure.&#8203;
