<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 Alliant Energy 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 Alliant Energy'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>, Alliant Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.08%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Downgrades

Scotiabank Downgrades Alliant Energy to Sector Perform, Raises Price Target to $67

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said he is ‘not a fan' of Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>).
On Dec. 4, Novavax agreed to sell its Bohumil, Czech Republic-based manufacturing facility to Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42323263/wegovy-maker-novo-nordisk-to-buy-novavaxs-czech-republic-manufacturing-facility-for-200-million">for $200 million.</a>
Also, the Food and Drug Administration recently granted Emergency Use Authorization of the company&#8217;s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40688052/fda-approves-novavaxs-updated-covid-vaccine-targeting-currently-circulating-variants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> updated COVID-19 vaccine</a>. The Novavax vaccine is included in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40752686/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">recommendations</a>.
The vaccine is the only protein-based option available in the U.S. for people aged 12 and older for the prevention of COVID-19.
When asked about Alliance Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNT#NYSE">LNT</a>), Cramer said Live Nation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>) is a better buy.
On Oct. 31, Alliant Energy posted better-than-expected quarterly results.
Cramer said he can't get behind Nebius Group N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBIS#NASDAQ">NBIS</a>). &#8220;If I want AI, I will go for Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) as it comes down,&#8221; he added.
On Dec. 2, Nebius Group announced it entered a $700 million private placement financing agreement with institutional investors.
Innodata Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INOD#NASDAQ">INOD</a>) is now a &#8220;very expensive&#8221; stock, Cramer said. &#8220;And I just think if you take a little off the table, you can always get back in.&#8221;
On Nov. 7, Innodata reported better-than-expected third-quarter financial results.
When asked about Smith &amp; Wesson Brands (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SWBI#NASDAQ">SWBI</a>), he said, &#8220;Not my cup of tea, but I don't think it's a bad level to get involved.&#8221;
On Dec. 6, Lake Street and Craig-Hallum both downgraded the stock from Buy to Hold and cut their respective price targets from $18 to $13.
United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) has &#8220;gone down so much, it's been such a disappointment,&#8221; the Mad Money host said. &#8220;I still think this stock is too expensive going in to the holiday season.&#8221;
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on Nov. 22 that it settled charges against United Parcel Service for materially misrepresenting its earnings because it failed to follow generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) when valuing one of its worst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42151959/financial-crime-weekly-ups-pays-45m-fine-bit-mining-pays-4m-fine-for-bribery">performing businesses</a>.&nbsp;
&#8220;I don't want to recommend a stock in the AI category that's losing so much money that's up so much,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBAI#NYSE">BBAI</a>).
On Nov. 5, BigBear.ai reported worse-than-expected third-quarter revenue results.
