The company operates as a real estate investment trust.

<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.

<h3>Comparing Digital Realty Trust's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>

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>, Digital Realty Trust's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.15%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is set to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40570314/top-nvidia-analyst-sees-no-major-impact-from-blackwell-delay-but-flags-one-caveat-h?itm_source=parsely-api">become the central player in the artificial intelligence ecosystem</a>, similar to Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) in e-commerce, according to Kevin Mahn, CIO of Hennion &amp; Walsh. 
What Happened: Mahn anticipates Nvidia will surpass expectations when it reports its second-quarter earnings on Wednesday. Mahn predicts significant growth in Nvidia&#8217;s data center business. He shared this perspective in an <a href="https://x.com/YahooFinance/status/1828511594126721421">interview</a> with Yahoo Finance on Tuesday.
&#8220;Nvidia is positioning themselves to be the hub of the AI ecosystem in a similar fashion that Amazon became the hub of the e-commerce ecosystem, Mahn said. 
Additionally, Mahn highlighted other stock options beyond Nvidia, including Digital Realty Trust Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DLR#NYSE">DLR</a>), Modine Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOD#NYSE">MOD</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).

Why It Matters: Nvidia&#8217;s upcoming earnings report is highly anticipated, with analysts expecting the company to report second-quarter revenue of $28.68 billion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40585459/nvidia-stock-q2-earnings-preview-analyst-says-ai-cycle-far-from-over-company-has-fi">according to Benzinga Pro</a>. This marks a significant increase from the $13.5 billion reported in the same quarter last year. Nvidia has consistently beaten revenue estimates in seven of the last eight quarters.
Technical indicators also show bullish momentum for Nvidia stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40576505/nvidia-stocks-technical-indicators-show-bullish-momentum-ahead-of-q2-earnings">ahead of the earnings report</a>. The stock has surged approximately 170% over the past year and about 163% year-to-date.
However, Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, cautions that Nvidia&#8217;s &#8220;hyperfocused&#8221; investors might trigger a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40567082/nvidias-hyperfocused-investors-might-trigger-negative-stock-trend-after-earnings-says-gene-munst">negative stock trend post-earnings</a>. Despite the recent 30% surge and proximity to all-time highs, Munster foresees potential short-term setbacks due to ongoing demand-supply imbalances and possible delays in the Blackwell project.
On the flip side, Carter Braxton Worth, founder of Worth Charting LLC, remains bullish on Nvidia. He suggests that investors should <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40571011/nvidias-stock-could-keep-climbing-says-expert-play-long-into-earnings-and-post-earn">consider a long-term strategy</a> for the stock, especially around the earnings period. Worth emphasized that technical indicators point towards a continued upward trajectory for the company.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock closed at $128.30 on Tuesday, up 1.46%. In after-hours trading, the stock slightly dipped by 0.46%. Year to date, NVIDIA&#8217;s stock has surged by an impressive 166.35%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

<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.

<h3>Comparing Digital Realty Trust'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.

Digital Realty Trust shares are trading lower. The data center stock may be down amid weakness in the semiconductor sector.

To capitalize digital transformations, Digital Realty (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dlr#NYSE">DLR</a>) recently announced the acquisition of a colocation data center in the Slough Trading Estate for $200 million.
The purchase signifies the company&#39;s entry into the west London submarket and enhances current colocation services in the City and Docklands. It comes as a part of the DLR&#39;s efforts to improve its global data center platform, PlatformDIGITAL.
The campus boasts two separate data centers with a combined capacity of 15 megawatts, superior connectivity and space for potential expansion. The Slough data center campus serves as a well-established hub for a network of more than 150 customers, encompassing a wide range of connectivity providers, technology firms and financial services companies, with more than 2,000 cross-connects in use.
Moreover, along with the integration into Digital Realty&#39;s current Metro Connect solution, which enables smooth connectivity between its six campuses in Greater London, customers will also gain access to Digital Realty&#39;s open interconnection and orchestration platform, ServiceFabric. These improvements will offer customers access to a secure, dynamic and global data exchange network, allowing them to effectively manage and expand their digital operations.
Per S&eacute;amus Dunne, MD of Digital Realty in the United Kingdom and Ireland, &quot;As the U.K. solidifies its position as Europe&#39;s premier technology hub, this acquisition enhances our ability to support customers as they grow and scale, further establishing our presence in this vital market.&quot;
The acquisition enhances Digital Realty&#39;s presence in a key market and reinforces the company&#39;s dedication to sustainability. In line with Digital Realty&#39;s sustainability efforts, the Slough data center campus will run on renewable energy. This reflects the company&#39;s initiative to match all energy consumption in its European portfolio with renewable sources and its aim of achieving carbon neutrality for its European portfolio by 2030.
In conclusion, DLR&#39;s acquisition of a data center campus in Slough positions the company for accelerated growth in the data center market. As data centers experience unprecedented demand growth, this acquisition offers scope to capitalize on the significant opportunities presented by the evolving digital landscape.
