Shares of companies in the broader industrial sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness on US consumer and economic concerns.

Shares of Axon Enterprise, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>) are trading lower Friday. The stock&#8217;s downtrend, which began on Wednesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AXON/analyst-ratings">after a downgrade</a>, continues.
Axon is testing and may be breaking support. It is also trading above price levels that it gapped up through on Nov. 8. If the support breaks, it may fall quickly back through these levels in the opposite direction. This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
One of the main reasons support levels form in markets is psychology, driven by seller's remorse.
People sell their shares only to watch them head higher after doing so. When this happens, many think their decision to sell was a mistake. Many decide to buy their shares back.
But they will only buy back if they can repurchase at the price they sold.
As a result, if and when the stock eventually drops back to the price they sold at, they place buy orders. If there are a large amount of remorseful sellers placing buy orders it can cause support to form.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="546" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21142541/axon-1024x546.png" alt="" class="wp-image-793699" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21142541/axon-1024x546.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21142541/axon-300x160.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21142541/axon-768x409.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21142541/axon.png 1522w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
As you can see on the chart there has been support for Axon around $540.
On Nov. 8, the shares opened at $540. Trading volume is typically heaviest at the market&#8217;s open and close. Many who sold at the open regretted their decision as shares closed above $600.
On Jan. 6 when Axon dropped back to this level, a number of these regretful sellers placed buy orders. The large concentration of these orders formed support at the same price that had been support previously.
The same type of price action is occurring now. People who sold at the bottom on Jan. 6 are placing buy orders. As for now, these orders have formed support and put a floor under the price.
If this support breaks, the stock may fall rapidly because it will be back to price levels that it gapped up through.
If a stock closes at one price and opens at another, there is no trading in between the prices. This can appear as a ‘gap' or blank space on a chart.
If there is no trading, then there is no one who sold who will be trying to buy shares if the stock gets back to the levels it gapped through going in the opposite direction.
Axon gapped up from $465.50 to $540.00. It may be about to gap back down.

10 Industrials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Axon Enterprise's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NYSE">AXON</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.91% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.42 million shares sold short, which is 4.31% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.21 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.

<h3>Axon Enterprise Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739814315_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Axon Enterprise 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 Axon Enterprise'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>, Axon Enterprise's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.80%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Katy Huberty, the Global Head of Research at Morgan Stanley, has spotlighted 20 stocks from companies that are likely to see significant benefits from the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
What Happened: Huberty expressed that we are currently at a &#8220;tipping point&#8221; for AI adoption. She underscored that businesses utilizing AI to boost their profits are on the verge of reaping considerable benefits.
Speaking <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-adopters-stocks-to-buy-beneficiaries-pricing-power-morgan-stanley-2025-1#home-depot-1">with</a> Business Insider earlier this month, Huberty pointed out that businesses with strong pricing power, those capable of maintaining or increasing their prices due to high demand, will witness the most significant impact on their profits. 
&#8220;Pricing power will allow the&nbsp;companies to retain the productivity&nbsp;that they experience on the&nbsp;back of these investments and&nbsp;not have to pass that&nbsp;on to the customer,&#8221; she elaborated.

Why It Matters: The adoption of AI has been a hot topic in recent years, with many industries recognizing its potential to transform business operations and drive profitability. 
Huberty&#8217;s identification of these 20 stocks underscores the growing importance of AI in the business landscape. Companies that successfully leverage AI technologies stand to gain a competitive edge, particularly those with strong pricing power. 
This development could signal a shift in investment strategies, with investors potentially looking to companies with strong AI adoption as promising opportunities.
