<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.

After President Donald Trump signed the &#8216;Big Beautiful Bill,&#8217; which reduced incentives for solar and wind power projects, Cathie Wood&#8217;s Ark Invest is making a strong case for nuclear energy, arguing it could become the most cost-effective power source — even as solar has long held that title.
What Happened: The newly enacted bill delivers a significant blow to renewable energy, phasing out critical investment and production tax credits that have been instrumental in the expansion of wind and solar industries since 1992 and 2005, respectively.
Meanwhile, Trump clarified that the U.S. will rely on oil, gas, coal and nuclear to meet its growing energy needs, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/03/trump-one-big-beautiful-bill-oil-gas-coal-solar-wind-ira-tax-incentive-repeal.html">according</a> to a CNBC report.
Amid this, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/05/45541408/cathie-woods-ark-invest-says-nuclear-energy-could-overtake-solar-as-cheapest-power-source-heres-a-list-of-nuclear-energy-linked-etfs-to-consider">Ark Invest is championing nuclear power</a>. In a recent research note, Sam Korus, Director of Research for Autonomous Technology and Robotics at Ark, contends that despite historical cost challenges, nuclear energy&#8217;s high utilization rates fundamentally alter its cost-competitiveness.
While solar plants typically operate at capacity utilization rates in the low 20%, nuclear plants boast over 80% utilization. This key distinction, when factored in, positions nuclear to potentially outcompete solar on a cost-per-watt basis.
Korus acknowledges solar&#8217;s continued cost decline but points to substantial logistical hurdles, such as the vast land requirements (estimated at 71.4 million acres) and complex real estate negotiations, which could impede large-scale solar deployment and necessitate alternative baseload sources like nuclear.
The tax bill states that only projects commencing construction within 12 months of the bill&#8217;s enactment will receive an exception, creating an urgent 2.5-year window for completion.

Why It Matters: As the Trump administration, along with Ark&#8217;s research, sees nuclear energy as a potential beneficiary of the recent policy changes, here is a list of nuclear energy stocks that investors could consider.

<h3>Comparing Entergy P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 19.19 in the Electric Utilities industry, Entergy Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 26.91. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Entergy Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748959224_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Intraday Update

Price Over Earnings Overview: Entergy

After grappling with regulatory hurdles, rising capital costs, and rapidly declining costs of renewables like solar, Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest highlights in its new research that nuclear energy can potentially emerge as the lowest-cost source of electricity, outcompeting solar.
What Happened: A new research note from Sam Korus, the director of research for autonomous technology and robotics at Ark, published on May 14, highlights that nuclear power&#8217;s promise of reliable baseload energy was overshadowed by soaring expenses, particularly after the 1970s.
While solar costs have plummeted, Ark Invest&#8217;s analysis highlights a crucial, often overlooked factor: utilization rates.
&#8220;A quick glance suggests nuclear wouldn&#8217;t be as low as solar on a cost-per-watt basis,&#8221; the research note explains, &#8220;but importantly, the first glance misses a key point: nuclear plants operate at more than 80% utilization, while solar plants operate at a capacity utilization rate in the low 20s%.&#8221;
When adjusted for this, the playing field dramatically shifts, explains Korus in his research.
The research proposes four potential cost scenarios for nuclear, with the most optimistic envisioning a &#8220;step-change cost decline to pre-1975 nuclear cost trendline.&#8221;
This discontinuous drop, driven by new companies like Oklo Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>), could lead to overall capital costs of approximately $3.3 trillion, making nuclear power the lowest-cost option.
Korus adds, &#8220;The future of nuclear energy depends upon costs. If a company were to achieve a discontinuous decline in costs, nuclear power could emerge as the lowest-cost source of electricity.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s a list of some solar energy-linked stocks and exchange-traded funds that investors could consider.

Why It Matters: Talking about solar energy, Korus said that while solar costs are expected to continue their decline, there are significant logistical challenges.
&#8220;Solar's land requirement at 71.4 million acres would be a considerable logistical challenge,&#8221; the note states.
This vast footprint, coupled with complex real estate negotiations and long interconnect times, could make large-scale solar deployment difficult, leaving a vital role for alternative sources like nuclear.

Upgrades

Keybanc Upgrades Entergy to Overweight, Announces $85 Price Target

Entergy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) short percent of float has fallen 13.58% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.87 million shares sold short, which is 2.61% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.96 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Entergy 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 Entergy'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>, Entergy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.46%, 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>

Wall Street rose modestly by midday Tuesday, as investors weighed the latest developments in trade negotiations and awaited a wave of key economic data and corporate earnings set for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45072497/us-trade-deficit-explodes-to-record-162-billion-in-march-as-import-frenzy-precedes-trumps-tariff-barrage">release later this week.</a>

Earnings Scheduled For April 29, 2025

CORRECTION: The name of the company is Entergy Corp. not Entergy Inc., as originally written.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;
Looking into the current session, Entergy Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETR#NYSE">ETR</a>) shares are trading at $84.60, after a 0.01% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 0.67%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 61.25%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company&#39;s price-to-earnings ratio.
&nbsp;
<img alt="Past Year Chart" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745874017_0.png" />
&nbsp;
<h3>Comparing Entergy P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company&#39;s EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company&#39;s current performance against it&#39;s past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future.
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 18.69 in the Electric Utilities industry, Entergy&nbsp;has a higher P/E ratio of 34.53. Shareholders might be inclined to think that Entergy might perform better than its industry group. It&#39;s also possible that the stock is overvalued.
&nbsp;
<img alt="Guage" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745874017_1.png" />
&nbsp;
In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company&#39;s market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company&#39;s financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
