It recently signed a significant contract with NASA&#8217;s Goddard Space Flight Center for advanced imaging and data processing. Despite this surge, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/QUBT/analyst-ratings">analysts from Ascendiant Capital </a>have set a price target of $8.5, suggesting a potential downside of 51.02%.

MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) saw a 450.14% rise, driven by its strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) acquisitions, which have significantly increased its asset-backed value. According to bitcointreasuries.net, the company now holds 444,262 BTCs, valued at over $41.74 billion. Analysts from Bernstein, TD Cowen, and Barclays have set an average price target of $546.67, indicating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSTR/analyst-ratings">a 64.51% potential upside.</a>

The company recently reported that it has 1.83 million shares sold short, which is 23.28% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Powell Industries 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 Powell Industries'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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Powell Industries's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.43%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

We&#8217;ve done well with Super Micro Computer (SMCI) recently, buying it at $21.86 last month (&#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42052075/turning-bullish-on-supermicro">Turning Bullish On Supermicro</a>&#8220;), and seeing the stock more than double since.

But SMCI was in some of our hedged portfolios created six months ago, and it dropped more than 44% over that time frame.&nbsp;
Here&#8217;s a look at one of those portfolios, and how hedging and security selection enabled it to still smoke the S&amp;P 500.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Our Hedged Portfolio From June 6th, 2024</h2>
This was the hedged portfolio our system created on June 6th, for an investor with $3,000,000 to put to work who didn&#8217;t want to risk a decline of more than 30% over the next six months. Our system started by dividing the money in seven equal parts, and allocating it to&nbsp;Abercrombie &amp; Fitch Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>),&nbsp;Century Aluminum Co.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CENX#NASDAQ">CENX</a>)&nbsp;Dell Technologies&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>),&nbsp;Comfort Systems USA, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIX#NYSE">FIX</a>),&nbsp;Powell Industries, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POWL#NASDAQ">POWL</a>), and&nbsp;Semtech Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMTC#NASDAQ">SMTC</a>), in addition to&nbsp;Super Micro Computer Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>).&nbsp;

Next, it rounded down those seven dollar amounts to round lots of each of those names and their optimal hedges. Then it swept most of the leftover cash from that process into a tightly collared position in MicroStrategy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>). 
The dollar amount of the SMCI position (circled in red in the image above) at the start was $233,376 in underlying shares and $21,900 in puts for a total position value of $255,276. We&#8217;ll come back to that in a moment.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How That Portfolio Performed Over The Next 6 Months</h2>
Over the next six months, our portfolio was up 30.52%, net of hedging and trading costs, while the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) was up 14.4%. So it more than doubled the performance of the market, despite SMCI dropping 44%.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="700" height="545" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/09214404/1-Portfolio-.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3931" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/09214404/1-Portfolio-.jpg 700w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/09214404/1-Portfolio--300x234.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>

You can view an interactive version of the chart above <a href="https://portfolioarmor.com/front_tests/5769" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">here</a>.
You can see the ending value for the $SMCI plus its put hedge circled in red above: $202,155.30. Recall that the starting value for that position was&nbsp;$255,276. $202,155.30 represents a 20.8% drop from $255,276.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How This Portfolio Beat The Market Despite SMCI&#8217;s 44% Drop&nbsp;</h2>
We mentioned two reasons above: hedging and security selection. Both are true, but there&#8217;s a bit more to it.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Although SMCI dropped by 44%&#8211;and its hedge was designed to protect against a &gt;30% drop&#8211;it nevertheless limited the drawdown to 20.8%. That was due to the positive hedging error inherent in our hedging algorithm.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Security selection helped overall here in picking mostly winners. POWL, for example, was up more than 73% over that six-month period.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Concentration helped here too. Since there were only 8 underlying securities in the portfolio, the 73% gain in POWL had a big impact.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Finally, knowing when to hedge with optimal puts rather than optimal collars was key. Our system has an algorithm to determine that, and since it hedged POWL with puts, we captured nearly all of its upside.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
You can use our system to create hedged portfolios for dollar amounts as small as $30,000&#8211;you just need to enter the dollar amount you want to invest and largest drawdown you&#8217;re willing to risk, and our system does the rest.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If You Just Want To Hedge What You Already Have</h2>
If you are concerned about downside risk, as a reminder, you can download our iPhone hedging app by aiming your iPhone camera at the QR code below (or by&nbsp;<a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/portfolio-armor/id394951144">tapping here</a>, if you&#8217;re reading this on your phone).&nbsp;

How To Beat The Market When One Of Your Top Stocks Drops 44%

Most people associate AI investing with semiconductors like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) or cloud giants like Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>). But beneath the surface, there's a less obvious story: the immense power required <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">to support this innovation.</a>
As U.S. power demand is projected to surge at an annual rate of 2.5%, a $7 trillion investment windfall is on the horizon fueled by the sweeping infrastructure overhaul required to sustain AI breakthroughs, digital asset mining, and next-generation mobility innovations.
In an exclusive interview with Benzinga on Thursday, Maurits Pot, CEO and co-founder of Tema ETFs, introduced the newly launched Tema Electrification ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOLT#NYSE">VOLT</a>), the world's first fund dedicated to the infrastructure powering modern technology.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Power Demand Is Surging</h3>
The U.S. power grid has been largely neglected for decades, but the electrification era is creating a surge in electricity consumption that hasn't been seen since the 1990s. 
Several megatrends are at play:
<ol>
<li>AI is energy-hungry: AI data centers consume seven times more power than traditional facilities, according to Tema ETFs. With generative AI and machine learning applications proliferating, power requirements are expected to soar. </li>
<li>Aging infrastructure: Approximately 70% of U.S. transmission and distribution (T&amp;D) lines are over 25 years old—past their recommended lifespan. Without upgrades, the grid may be unable to meet demand.</li>
<li>Supply deficits are coming: The U.S. could face a 40 gigawatt power shortfall by 2030, equivalent to 40 nuclear plants or 100 gas-fired turbines.</li>
</ol>
&#8220;We think this electrification trend is massive,&#8221; Pot said, adding, &#8220;the opportunity lies on the expansion of power capacity needed to meet rising demand for AI, mobility and other things.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Sets VOLT Apart?</h3>
Pot explained that VOLT is the first ETF to span the full electrification value chain, offering exposure to companies across five categories: generation, transmission, grid equipment, electrification services, and applications. 
Here's a closer look at some of the key names in the portfolio:

12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Pre-Market Session

Powell Industries shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q4 revenue results.

Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POWL#NASDAQ">POWL</a>) shares are trading lower on Wednesday after the company reported fourth-quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42074697/powell-industries-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-fiscal-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">results after the markets closed on Tuesday</a>.
Revenues surged 32% year over year to $275 million, which missed the consensus of $286.49 million.
The revenue growth was led by the Petrochemical sector (+112% Y/Y), Oil &amp; Gas sector (+23% Y/Y), and Commercial &amp; Other Industrial sector (+66% Y/Y).
New orders rose to $267 million from $171 million a year ago, driven by strong&nbsp;demand in the Oil &amp; Gas, Petrochemical, and Electric Utility sectors.
Gross profit increased 55% Y/Y to $80 million, with a margin of 29.2% vs. 24.9% a year ago quarter. EPS&nbsp;of $3.77&nbsp;surpassed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $3.55</a>.
Brett A. Cope, Powell&#8217;s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, &#8220;We experienced tremendous growth in our largest markets, with our top line growing by 45% in fiscal 2024. We continue to execute at a high standard for both our customers and our shareholders as reflected by our gross margin, which improved 590 basis points compared to the prior year.&#8221;
&#8221;Having recorded our second consecutive year of more than $1.0 billion in new orders, we continue to grow in our traditional markets of oil &amp; gas, petrochemical and electrical utilities, while further diversifying in markets such as data centers, hydrogen, carbon capture and other alternative fuels.&#8221;
As of September 30, 2024, cash and short-term investments totaled $358 million. Backlog remained steady at $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2024, consistent with levels at both June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023.
Michael Metcalf, Chief Financial Officer, said, &#8220;As we look ahead to fiscal 2025, we expect continued strength across most of our end markets spanning across all of the geographies that we compete in.&#8221;
&#8221;We are pleased with our fiscal 2024 results and remain focused on carrying forward the strong operational execution and commercial momentum that we have experienced this year, into fiscal 2025.&#8221;
&#8221;Notwithstanding our seasonally slower fiscal first quarter, considering the healthy backdrop, robust backlog, strong liquidity, and a solid balance sheet, we anticipate that fiscal 2025 will be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">another successful year for Powell.</a>&#8220;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Innovator IBD 50 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFTY#NYSE">FFTY</a>) and Tidal ETF Trust Aztlan Global Stock Selection DM SMID ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZTD#NYSE">AZTD</a>).
Price Action: POWL shares are down 15% at $265.63 at the last check Wednesday.
