<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy DASH Stock</h3>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in DoorDash's case, it&#8217;s in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Palantir Joins S&P 100 After AI-Driven Rally, Stock Surges Almost 60% Since Trump Victory

Financial markets have been volatile since President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41768178/donald-trump-defeats-kamala-harris-to-win-2024-election">election on Nov. 5, 2024</a>, and subsequent inauguration. Which companies have surged under the new administration and which have struggled?
Best Performers: Six companies in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) have returned over 30% since Nov. 5, 2024, according to data <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) leads the pack, rocketing up 59.91% from $51.13 to $81.76. The Denver, Colorado-based company&#8217;s annualized return is over 184%. The retail investor darling has capitalized on AI trends and CEO Alex Karp&#8217;s support for Elon Musk&#8217;s government efficiency efforts, which he defended as a push to eliminate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43806845/palantir-ceo-alex-karp-backs-elon-musks-government-efficiency-efforts-calls-him-most-important-builder">fraud, waste, and abuse.</a>
According to Benzinga Edge, the company has momentum on its side, scoring a very high 99 out of 100, though it lags on key valuation metrics, indicating the stock could be overvalued.

Celanese's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CE#NYSE">CE</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.51 million shares sold short, which is 9.35% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.99 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

<h3>Celanese Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741196723_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Celanese has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Celanese'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Celanese's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.15%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>
