Entegris Inc

Entegris's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENTG#NYSE">ENTG</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.17% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 7.35 million shares sold short, which is 4.88% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.75 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/">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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736973921_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Entegris 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 Entegris'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>, Entegris's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.05%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

How Is The Market Feeling About Entegris?

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and peer chip stocks, including Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), are trading lower Friday as the chip companies <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42897081/nvidia-and-ai-chip-stocks-brace-for-impact-as-biden-administration-considers-new-china-export-ban-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">remain susceptible to</a> potential sanctions on China regarding artificial intelligence chip exports.

</ul>
In 2025, Hari recommended investors to own industry leaders in AI and cyclical names as he expected the magnitude of AI earnings beats to moderate, while he envisioned earnings revisions in broad-based semiconductors to turn positive in the latter half of the year. Hari&#8217;s Buy-rated ideas include Nvidia, Broadcom, Lam Research, Micron Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), Teradyne, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>) (also on the Conviction List) and Entegris.
Hari noted Nvidia&#8217;s GPU as the industry standard, which is supported by the company&#8217;s large installed base, robust developer ecosystem, and presence in all major Clouds. Nvidia and its partners&#8217; ability to innovate will help them preserve their moat.
Broadcom is favorably positioned alongside Nvidia, backed by continued growth in the AI Semiconductor business with a potential acceleration in Networking, a recovery in the cyclical parts of its Semiconductor portfolio, sustained revenue growth, and margin expansion in Software.
In 2025, although challenging supply-demand dynamics in conventional DRAM and NAND are likely to keep a lid on Street estimates and Micron&#8217;s valuation multiple in the near term, Hari expects share gains in HBM and enterprise SSD, together with a gradually improving supply-demand backdrop in conventional DRAM and NAND, to catalyze positive EPS revisions and, in turn, better relative stock price performance.
Hari expects Lam Research to outperform its immediate peers in 2025. In addition to a quarterly recovery in the overall Wafer Fab Equipment market, he expects idiosyncratic drivers such as the adoption of Gate-All-Around transistors in leading-edge Foundry/Logic and the resumption of technology transitions in 3D NAND to support revenue growth that exceeds the overall WFE market.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Hari expects Teradyne to benefit from share gains in Compute SoC test, HBM test, recovery in Mobile SoC test and stabilization and /acceleration in Robotics revenue growth.
The analyst also upgraded NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) from Neutral to Buy and downgraded AMD from Buy to Neutral.
The NXP upgrade reflects the analyst&#8217;s belief that the Automotive MCUs market will begin to price in a cyclical recovery in 2025. Additionally, NXP is taking sufficient strategic steps, mainly its growing focus on the Chinese OEMs, to gain a share in the Automotive semiconductor market over the medium to long run. There is ample potential for NXP&#8217;s gross and operating margins to expand on a cross-cycle basis.
Although Hari remains constructive on the company&#8217;s ability to take share from Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) in x86-based computing across PCs and traditional servers, the analyst is increasingly concerned that the rise of Arm-based custom CPUs coupled with the competitive intensity in accelerated computing will weigh on AMD&#8217;s revenue growth relative to peers, exert upward pressure on AMD&#8217;s operating expenditure profile and, in turn, weigh on the stock&#8217;s multiple. 
The underperformance reflects weakness in PC and traditional end-demand and, more recently, slower-than-expected growth in Data Center GPUs.
