Shares of construction-related stocks are trading lower as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

As uncertainties surrounding trade policies, fresh recession fears, and persistent inflation kept the markets on tenterhooks throughout the past week, a handful of small-caps defied the odds by posting significant gains. 
These stocks, all part of the Russell 2000 index, have market caps lower than $2 billion and have rallied between 11% and 60% over the past week, while the broader index witnessed a pullback of 2.5%. Let us explore these stocks and the various factors contributing to their resilience.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Lexicon Pharmaceuticals</h2>
The three-decades-old Lexicon Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LXRX#NASDAQ">LXRX</a>) posted a phenomenal 58% rally last week, after announcing that it was entering into an exclusive licensing agreement with Danish pharma giant, Novo Nordisk (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>). 
The agreement pertains to Lexicon&#8217;s LX9851, an oral non-incretin development candidate for treating obesity and other metabolic disorders. It provides Novo with exclusive rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the drug worldwide.
The deal is set to generate Lexicon up to $1 billion in milestone and royalty payments over the coming years, prompting a quick &#8216;Buy&#8217; rating from Joseph Pantginis of H.C. Wainwright, alongside <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/25/03/44542815/what-6-analyst-ratings-have-to-say-about-lexicon-pharmaceuticals">several other analysts</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. LightWave Logic </h2>
LightWave Logic (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LWLG#NASDAQ">LWLG</a>) develops photonic devices and electro-optic polymer materials for fiber-optic communications, all of which play a critical role in semiconductor foundries and AI data centers. 
Last week, the company announced its Process Design Kit (PDK) which is now commercially available after already being implemented at two major foundries. This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/movers/25/03/44547240/12-information-technology-stocks-moving-in-fridays-after-market-session">led the stock to pop 19% on Friday</a>, ending the week up by 10%. A picks-and-shovels play, the stock is expected to maintain momentum as the AI race heats up.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Argan Inc</h2>
Argan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AGX#NYSE">AGX</a>), a Maryland-based engineering, procurement, and construction company that&#8217;s been around since the early-60s. The stock popped nearly 20% on Friday, ending the week up by 11%, following its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44536628/argan-posts-upbeat-results-joins-kulr-technology-abacus-global-management-w-r-berkley-and-other-big-stocks-moving-higher-on-friday">spectacular fourth-quarter earnings performance</a>.
The company reported $232 million in revenue during the fourth quarter, up 40% year-over-year, and a profit of $31.4 million, or $2.22 per share, up 150% year-over-year, while handily beating analyst estimates.
Argan&#8217;s performance is largely owing to its power industry services business, with revenues growing 65% to $196 million, and contributing to its massive order backlog at $1.4 billion, up 80% from the prior year. The company is riding the demand for natural gas-fired power plants to fuel the endless new AI data centers.

<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.
