Wall Street&#8217;s worst sell-off since the 2020 pandemic has sent several major indices into correction or bear territory, prompting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44697600/stocks-rebound-chipmakers-soar-on-trade-deal-hopes-bitcoin-lags-whats-driving-markets-tuesday">a flight to safety</a>. 
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETFs that provide exposure </a>to consumer staples, utilities, and healthcare—sectors that have historically been considered defensive during downturns—are now in the limelight.
Some of the top choices are:
<ul>
<li>SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Consumer Staples (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLP#NYSE">XLP</a>): This exchange-traded fund follows businesses that make common items such as food, drinks, and household goods. Sales of these necessities would generally continue regardless of economic downturns. Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>), Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) and Walmart, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) are among its holdings.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>SPDR Select Sector Fund — Utilities (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLU#NYSE">XLU</a>): Utility firms offer essential services such as electricity and water, so they would be favorites among income-hungry investors amid times of greater uncertainty. The portfolio includes NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEE#NYSE">NEE</a>) and Pg&amp;E Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Vanguard Health Care ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VHT#NYSE">VHT</a>): Healthcare spending generally holds up in tough times, and VHT provides exposure to a blend of drugstore chains, medical device manufacturers, and healthcare providers. Eli Lilly &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) are among the top holdings.</li>

Dividend-oriented ETFs are also attracting attention. The iShares Core High Dividend ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HDV#NYSE">HDV</a>), which owns a portfolio of financially healthy U.S. firms that pay high dividend yields, protects against declining stock prices with consistent income.
Value investing is also gaining traction. The Vanguard Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTV#NYSE">VTV</a>), which tracks large-cap stocks that are undervalued relative to their fundamentals, is considered a less risky means of remaining invested while reducing exposure to growth stocks with volatile price swings.
The move into defensive positioning occurs as investors process the latest ratcheting up of U.S.-China trade tensions. According to the White House, the U.S. tariff rate on Chinese imports will spike to 104% at 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday unless China removes retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.
The risk of blanket tariffs — a 10% base tariff on all imports to the U.S. and higher rates on major trading partners such as the EU, India, Taiwan, and Vietnam — has unsettled markets. Uncertainty about a supposedly planned 90-day tariff break, which the White House <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44671308/stock-market-surge-evaporates-as-headline-roulette-plagues-traders-fake-news-white-house-says-in-response-to">called &#8220;fake news</a>,&#8221; contributed to the fluctuations.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44645681/jpmorgan-raises-recession-risk-to-60-as-largest-us-tax-hike-in-60-years-hits-global-economy?_gl=1&#x2A;1mnei8t&#x2A;_gcl_au&#x2A;NzQyMjgxNjUuMTczNzYwNzI4NQ..&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;ZGVsZXRlZA..&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTc0NDAyMzE1Ny4yNDYuMS4xNzQ0MDIzMjMyLjAuMC4w">JPMorgan now sees</a> a U.S. recession in the second half of 2025 at 60%, and Goldman Sachs has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44662991/goldman-sachs-raises-risk-of-recession-to-45-jefferies-calls-tariffs-a-free-hall-pass-for-tech-giants-to-reset-their-goals">increased the chances</a> of a recession in the next 12 months to 45%.
In that environment, strategists say it&#8217;s not about going after gains — it&#8217;s about limiting losses.

As Trump Tariffs Spark Panic, Investors Rush Into These 5 'Recession-Proof' ETFs

PG&amp;E's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) short percent of float has risen 31.07% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 44.64 million shares sold short, which is 2.32% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.42 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>PG&amp;E Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743786915_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for PG&amp;E 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 PG&amp;E'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>, PG&amp;E's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.27%, 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>

Dan Loeb's Portfolio Feels The Strain As Tesla, Amazon, PG&E Lose Ground

General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) has joined Pacific Gas &amp; Electric Co&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) residential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44299611/gm-and-pg-e-paving-the-way-to-turn-electric-vehicles-into-home-energy-assets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vehicle-to-Everything</a> pilot program, the companies announced on Thursday.
Under the deal, they offer eligible Northern and&nbsp;Central California&nbsp;customers incentivized pricing for qualifying General Motors Energy home energy products.
General Motors Energy is working with utilities like Pacific Gas &amp; Electric (PG&amp;E) to leverage GM&#8217;s bidirectional EV charging technology.

This technology allows compatible General Motors EVs to supply power back to homes during outages and, in the future, can support the grid by helping balance energy demand.
Customers enrolled in PG&amp;E&#8217;s residential Vehicle-to-Everything pilot program can receive up to $4,500 in incentives off the price of qualifying General Motors Energy home products that enable bidirectional charging.
Customers may also be eligible for additional incentives.
General Motors EVs eligible for the program at the time of launch include the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV, 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV, 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV, 2024 Cadillac Lyriq EV, 2024 GMC Sierra and 2025 Cadillac Lyriq EV. GM expects to add all model year 2025 EVs to the pilot program soon.
General Motors reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43315953/general-motors-turnaround-on-track-despite-ev-roadblocks-analysts-view" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter sales</a> of $47.70 billion (+11%), topping the analyst consensus estimate of $43.61 billion.

General Motors has joined Pacific Gas &amp; Electric Company's (PG&amp;E) residential Vehicle-to-Everything pilot program, providing eligible customers in Northern and Central California with incentivized pricing for qualifying GM Energy home energy products.
GM Energy is working with utilities like PG&amp;E to leverage GM's bidirectional EV charging technology, which allows compatible GM EVs to supply power back to homes during outages and, in the future, can support the grid by helping balance energy demand, with the goal of ultimately helping improve overall grid resiliency.
Customers enrolled in PG&amp;E's residential Vehicle-to-Everything pilot <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4382342-1&amp;h=2311988317&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pge.com%2Fen%2Fclean-energy%2Felectric-vehicles%2Fgetting-started-with-electric-vehicles%2Fvehicle-to-everything-v2x-pilot-programs.html&amp;a=program">program</a>&nbsp;can receive up to $4,500 in incentives off the price of qualifying GM Energy <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4382342-1&amp;h=1773985455&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fgmenergy.gm.com%2Ffor-home%2Fproducts%2Fvehicle-to-home-solutions%3Fppc%3DMICROSOFT_700000002813031_71700000119486907_58700008750829666_p80533906463%26d_src%3D313715%26d_adsrc%3D12403317%26d_campaign%3D71700000119486907%26d_site%3DMICROSOFT%26d_adgroup%3D58700008750829666%26d_keyword%3DGM%2BEnergy%26gclick%3Da4cd4cbd28731a5a0fbc2b08f0599615%26gclid%3Da4cd4cbd28731a5a0fbc2b08f0599615%26gclsrc%3D3p.ds%26msclkid%3Da4cd4cbd28731a5a0fbc2b08f0599615%23unlock&amp;a=home+products">home products</a>&nbsp;that enable bidirectional charging, such as the GM Energy V2H Bundle or Home System.

PG&amp;E's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCG#NYSE">PCG</a>) short percent of float has risen 9.89% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 38.44 million shares sold short, which is 2.0% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.55 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 PG&amp;E 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 PG&amp;E'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>, PG&amp;E's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.32%, which means the company has less 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>

With International Women&#39;s Day just two days away, it&#39;s time to acknowledge the power of women in the business world. Research shows that companies with more women in senior positions tend to be more profitable, socially responsible and better at delivering high-quality customer experiences. According to <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/diversity-and-inclusion/diversity-matters-even-more-the-case-for-holistic-impact" target="_blank">McKinsey &amp; Company</a>, firms with 30% or more women on their executive teams are 27% more likely to outperform on profitability.
Companies with diverse leadership teams experience greater innovation, better decision-making and higher employee satisfaction. Even their earnings and dividends tend to be more stable over time. Yet, despite these advantages, women still hold a small fraction of top leadership roles. In 2024, only 52 businesses on the Fortune 500 list were run by women, making up just 10.4% of the total. That said, the women who do lead some of the world&#39;s largest companies are making a major impact.
Investing in these companies means backing leaders who prioritize innovation, sustainability and inclusivity. Female CEOs bring diverse perspectives that can drive strong strategies, solid financial results and long-term growth.
This Women&#39;s Day, we highlight five companies with female CEOs who are driving strong business performance and innovation&mdash;Citigroup C, Lumen Technologies LUMN, PG&amp;E PCG, General Motors GM and Expedia Group EXPE.
<h2>Citigroup &mdash; CEO Jane Fraser</h2>
Fraser became Citigroup&#39;s CEO in 2021, making history as the first woman to lead a major U.S. bank. She took charge at a pivotal time when the company was battling complexity. She focused on streamlining operations and boosting competitiveness. Fraser quickly launched a transformation to simplify Citigroup, cutting excess leadership layers and restructuring key divisions, including U.S. personal banking and European operations. Her strategy focused on creating a leaner, more agile institution by eliminating bureaucracy and improving efficiency.
Under her leadership, the bank is becoming more focused and operationally efficient. She also prioritized digital transformation, strengthening Citigroup&#39;s technological capabilities to serve customers better. While challenges remain, Fraser&#39;s efforts have set the stage for long-term growth, ensuring the bank maintains a strong position in the industry.
Citigroup currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its 2025 earnings is pegged at $7.53 per share, implying a 26.5% year-over-year increase. You can see&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zacks.com/stocks/buy-list/?adid=ZP_quote_ribbon_1list&amp;icid=quote-detailed_estimates-zp_internal-zacks_premium-top_ribbon-1_rank">the complete list of today&#39;s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here</a>.
<h2>Lumen &mdash; CEO Kate Johnson</h2>
Johnson took over as CEO of Lumen in late 2022, bringing experience in digital transformation from her role as president of Microsoft U.S. Under her direction, Lumen launched its Custom Networks division in 2022, offering tailored A.I. infrastructure solutions.
Last August, Lumen announced that it had secured $5 billion in AI contracts within 100 days, including a key partnership with Microsoft. It was a milestone under Johnson&#39;s leadership. She later steered the company toward an additional $3.5 billion in PCF deals, mainly dark fiber sales, with most cash payments expected within the first four years. At least $3 billion is projected to be received in 2025. These deals strengthened Lumen&#39;s liquidity and helped pay down debt. In 2024, the company generated $1.1 billion in free operating cash flow, a sharp turnaround from a $940 million deficit in 2023.
Johnson is also fostering a culture of adaptability, embracing uncertainties and learning from mistakes. As she puts it, &quot;This was a company that needed to be transformed fundamentally&mdash;and also needed a giant hug. I thought maybe I could lead it in a uniquely feminine way.&quot; Lumen currently sports a Zacks Rank #1.
<h2>PG&amp;E &mdash; CEO Patti Poppe</h2>
When Patti Poppe became CEO of PG&amp;E in 2021, she took on a company recovering from two bankruptcies, battling wildfires and struggling to meet California&#39;s energy needs. She took charge, focusing on rebuilding trust, improving safety and modernizing the grid. Under her leadership, PG&amp;E adopted &quot;lean&quot; programs, training 10,000 workers in cost-cutting measures. In 2023, these efforts saved $68 million in undergrounding electrical lines. In 2024, PG&amp;E saved $650 million across 250 projects through technology upgrades, process improvements and contract renegotiations.
Poppe also secured federal funding to support PG&amp;E&#39;s clean energy transition. The company is using AI to detect wildfires early and collaborating with external experts on solutions. PG&amp;E added 14,000 new customers in 2024 and expects more as data centers and EV charging stations grow, helping to lower costs over time.
PCG currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its 2025 earnings is pegged at $1.49/share, suggesting a 10% year-over-year increase.
<h2>General Motors &mdash; CEO Mary Barra</h2>
Barra made history in 2014 as the first female CEO of a major global automaker, taking the helm at GM. Under her leadership, General Motors has aggressively pursued electrification, investing billions in electric vehicles and battery technology. In 2024, GM doubled its U.S. EV market share to 12%. Barra has also prioritized profitability, cost-cutting, and efficiency. GM met its $2 billion net fixed cost reduction target and posted a record $14.9 billion profit in 2024&mdash;up 21% from 2023&mdash;on $187 billion in revenues, a 9% increase.
In China, GM&#39;s restructuring efforts, including rightsizing, new product launches and cost reductions, are beginning to pay off. Barra aims to return its China operations to profitability this year. GM&#39;s strong balance sheet and investor-friendly strategies reinforce its position in the industry.
General Motors currently carries a Zacks Rank #2. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its 2025 earnings is pegged at $11.46 a share, indicating an 8.11% year-over-year increase.
<h2>Expedia &mdash; CEO Ariane Gorin</h2>
Gorin became Expedia&#39;s CEO in 2024 after spending more than a decade in the company, leading digital transformation and expanding its B2B arm into a multibillion-dollar segment. She also played a key role in the 2021 sale of Egencia to American Express Global Business Travel. When she became the CEO, she aimed to revive Vrbo and Hotels.com while expanding Expedia&#39;s strengths in B2B, advertising and cost discipline.
She remains focused on international growth and on strengthening Expedia&#39;s B2C business. For 2025, Gorin set three priorities: delivering more value to travelers, investing in key growth opportunities and improving efficiency to expand margins. Under her leadership, Expedia is doubling down on AI-driven travel solutions and a revamped loyalty program. With strong travel demand, Gorin&#39;s strategy positions Expedia for its next phase of growth.
EXPE currently carries a Zacks Rank #2. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its 2025 earnings is pegged at $14.91 a share, implying a 23% year-over-year increase.

PG&amp;E reported 2024 adjusted EPS of $1.36, up from $1.23 in 2023,&nbsp;aided by higher customer capital investment, as approved in the 2023 General Rate Case final decision, which earns an equity return&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">under the cost of capital proceeding</a>.
Operating cash flow stood at&nbsp;$8.0 billion&nbsp;in 2024, up from&nbsp;$4.7 billion&nbsp;in 2023.

Outlook: PG&amp;E raised its 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $1.48 – $1.52 from its previous estimate of $1.47 – $1.51,&nbsp;vs. the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of $1.49</a>.

PG&amp;E CEO&nbsp;Patti Poppe said, &#8220;In 2024, we continued progress in ways that matter to both customers and investors. We delivered energy safely—our system has never been safer, and we are working to make it even safer. We stabilized combined gas and electric bills for residential customers. And we connected more new customers to our grid than we have in decades.&#8221;&nbsp;
In a separate release, the company stated that it is planning to support approximately 5.5 gigawatts (GW) of new data center energy&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43713032/pg-e-accelerating-connection-of-new-data-centers-throughout-northern-and-central-california" rel="noreferrer noopener">demand over the next decade</a>.&nbsp;
Of this, 1.4 GW is in the final design phase and&nbsp;is expected&nbsp;to become operational between 2026 and 2030.

Pacific Gas & Electric Holds The Line On Q4 EPS Amid Grid Modernization Push: Details

PG&amp;E Corporation is reaffirming 2025 GAAP earnings guidance in the range of $1.30 to $1.36 per share. Factors driving GAAP earnings include costs related to unrecoverable interest expense of $350 million to $400 million after tax and other earnings factors, including allowance for funds used during construction, incentive revenues, tax benefits, and cost savings, net of below-the-line costs. Additional factors include the amortization of the Wildfire Fund asset and accretion of the related Wildfire Fund liability, costs related to PG&amp;E Corporation's and the Utility's reorganization cases under Chapter 11, wildfire-related costs, and investigation remedies, partially offset by prior period net regulatory impact.
The guidance range for projected 2025 non-GAAP core earnings increased from $1.47 to $1.51 per share to $1.48 to $1.52 per share. The guidance range for non-core items, which management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, is $360 million to $400 million after tax.
Guidance is based on various assumptions and forecasts, including those relating to authorized revenues, future expenses, capital expenditures, rate base, equity issuances, and certain other factors.
