Ciena's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIEN#NYSE">CIEN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 25.13% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.62 million shares sold short, which is 4.23% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.37 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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Ciena 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 Ciena'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>, Ciena's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.64%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

A new report by the UN's Environment Program is shedding an unsettling new light on the current path of global warming.



Released days before world leaders meet in Dubai for the COP28 summit, the report underscores that current pledges made by countries at the Paris Agreement are not enough to keep world temperatures below the desired 1.5°C (2.7°F) rise above pre-industrial levels.

Nine days from now, leaders will meet in the United Arab Emirates city to begin sessions of the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, where new agreements are expected to be set in order to avoid a climate catastrophe within this century.



The Paris Agreement was adopted by 196 countries in 2015, pledging to do what it takes to maintain global temperatures below 2°C (3.6°F) above pre-industrial levels, and preferably limit the increase to 1.5 °C (2.7°F).



Yet according to UN measurements, the planet is currently on track for a temperature rise of between 2.5°C (4.5°F) and 2.9°C (5.2°F) above pre-industrial levels before 2100.



According to Antònio Guterres, secretary-general of the UN, keeping the global average below 1.5°C is still a possibility but would need extreme actions taken during this decade.



By 2030, global greenhouse gas emissions need to be cut by 42% from current projections in order to reach that goal, and by 28% to keep temperatures below a 2°C increase this century.



"It requires tearing out the poisoned root of the climate crisis: fossil fuels. And it demands a just, equitable renewables transition," said Guterres.



In spite of the warnings, demand for oil is expected to continue while oil production declines, leading companies in the oil and gas sector such as Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), Chevron Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) and ConocoPhillips Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/23/10/35419127/betting-on-an-oil-crisis-these-top-oil-stocks-could-generate-double-digit-returns">to be positioned for high returns, according to analysts.</a>



A rise of 2.9°C is believed by experts to be exponentially worse than a 1.5°C rise, and not "twice as bad" it might be intuitively thought.



As an example, the average chance of having a major heat wave "increases from around 5% over the period 1981-2010 to around 30% at 1.5°C but 80% at 3°C," <a href="https://theconversation.com/cop26-what-would-the-world-be-like-at-3-c-of-warming-and-how-would-it-be-different-from-1-5-c-171030">according</a> to Professor of Climate Change Science Nigel Arnell.



The year 2023 broke an array of records concerning climate change, registering 86 days with temperatures over 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. September of this year was the hottest month in recorded history, 1.8°C above pre-industrial levels, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33273161/heatwave-havoc-june-2023-takes-the-title-for-hottest-month-on-record">beating temperatures of July</a>, when several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33272913/7-air-conditioner-stocks-for-this-summers-infernal-heat-wave">U.S. cities experienced record heat waves</a>.



Global records continued to be broken last week: During the weekend temperatures in Rio De Janeiro, one of the largest cities in the Southern Hemisphere, had a heat index of 137.3° F, causing a 23-year-old fan at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/09/34190058/taylor-swifts-eras-tour-rakes-in-26-million-in-pre-sales-shattering-amc-records">Taylor Swift concert</a> to die of heat stroke, leading the artist to postpone the rest of her tour.



Stocks To Watch: ETFs grouping companies with high <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-esg-investing">ESG (environmental, social, governance) values</a> are positioned to receive extra attention from news coverage surrounding the topic of climate change during the COP28 summit, which will run between Nov. 30 and Dec. 12.



For the past 10 years, the S&amp;P 500 ESG Index, which is designed to measure the performance of securities meeting sustainability criteria, has outperformed the S&amp;P 500.



<ul>
<li>The iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESGU#NASDAQ">ESGU</a>) is pegged to the S&amp;P 500 ESG Index and is up 8% in the past month.</li>

Shares of packaged foods giant Kraft Heinz Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) are down 30.6&nbsp;percent over the past week and as has been reported, the impact of the company&#39;s $15.4 billion in non-cash writedowns, slashed quarterly dividend and other negative news <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/19/02/13225244/this-quirky-etf-has-the-largest-kraft-heinz-weight">was felt by some</a> exchange traded funds.

<h3>What Happened</h3>

More than 160 U.S.-listed ETFs have some exposure to Kraft Heinz shares. Those funds run the gamut of traditional plain vanilla funds to dividend ETFs to smart beta and multi-factor strategies to value plays.

Count the NuShares ESG Large-Cap Value ETF (CBOE: NULV) and the NuShares ESG Large-Cap Growth ETF (CBOE: NULG) among the ETF that didn&#39;t own shares of Kraft Heinz prior to the stock&#39;s recent slide.

<h3>Why It&#39;s Important</h3>

Kraft&#39;s tumbling shares &ldquo;underscore in ETF investing that premise that sometimes &#39;what you don&#39;t own&#39; is as important of &#39;what you own&#39; in any given ETF/Index strategy,&rdquo; said Paul Weisbruch, head of ETF sales and trading at Dallas-based <a href="http://www.espositosecurities.com/">Esposito Securities</a>, in a recent note.

As Weisbruch points out, neither NULV and NULG &ldquo;KHC into the recent debacle because the company simply did not meet the funds&#39; governing standards.&rdquo;

Fourteen value ETFs own shares of Kraft Heinz and NULV is not one. As the names of both NULG and NULV imply, these are environmental, social and governance (ESG) funds.

NULV follows the TIAA ESG USA Large-Cap Value Index, which features &ldquo;a portfolio of securities that adhere to predetermined ESG, controversial business involvement and low-carbon screening criteria,&rdquo; <a href="https://www.nuveen.com/exchange-traded-funds/nulv-nuveen-esg-large-cap-value-etf">according to Nuveen</a>.

NULG, the growth fund, follows a similar index allocated to growth stocks that uses the same methodology and screening criteria as NULV&#39;s benchmark.

<h3>What&#39;s Next</h3>

&ldquo;NULV is the fourth largest fund in the Nuveen suite having debuted at the same time as the aforementioned NULG in December of 2016,&rdquo; said Weisbruch. &ldquo;Like its name suggests, the fund is structured just like NULG in terms of its ESG mandate and standards.&rdquo;

NULG is a growth ETF, so its weight to consumer staples is light at just 3.6&nbsp;percent, meaning it&#39;s not surprising that Kraft Heinz does not dwell in that fund. On the other hand, NULV, the value ETF, has a 12.64 weight to the consumer staples sector.

NULV is up 3.31 percent over the past 12 months while the S&amp;P 500 Value Index is lower by 1 percent over that period.
