<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>Comparing Quanta Services'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>, Quanta Services's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.64%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

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.

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>, Quanta Services's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.14%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

10 Industrials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Several companies could be affected by a widespread power outage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/puerto-rico">Tuesday in Puerto Rico</a>.
What Happened: Only around 12% of Puerto Rico&#8217;s residents currently have electricity, <a href="https://miluma.lumapr.com/outages/serviceStatus">according</a> to Luma Energy, the power company servicing the island.
In a post on X, Luma Energy <a href="https://x.com/lumaenergypr/status/1874081905856885124">said</a> the outage began at 5 a.m. on Tuesday and resulted from &#8220;a fault on an underground line.&#8221; The company gave an estimate of 24 to 48 hours for power to be restored.

Power outages in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/movers-shakers/23/01/30481980/when-a-storm-leaves-you-without-power-for-days-what-do-you-do-yousolar-is-developing-solut">become more prevalent</a> in recent years after Hurricane Maria weakened the island&#8217;s electrical grid. The territory controversially privatized energy generation in 2023, giving control of power operations to Genera PR.
Puerto Rican Governor Pedro Pierluisi&nbsp;voiced displeasure with the companies&#8217; handling of the outage in a <a href="https://x.com/GovPierluisi/status/1874058818612527451">post</a> on X.
&#8220;We are demanding answers and solutions from both LUMA and Genera, who must expedite the restart of the generating units outside the fault area and keep the people duly informed about the measures they are taking to restore service throughout the Island.&#8221;
Companies Affected: LumaEnergy is a joint venture between Quanta Services Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PWR#NYSE">PWR</a>), an American infrastructure company, and ATCO, a Canadian company. Genera is a subsidiary of New Fortress Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFE#NASDAQ">NFE</a>).
Several other publicly traded companies have operations in Puerto Rico.
Financial services companies Popular Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BPOP#NASDAQ">BPOP</a>), OFG Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OFG#NYSE">OFG</a>) and First Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBP#NYSE">FBP</a>) service the island. Financial technology company Evertec Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVTC#NYSE">EVTC</a>) is based in San Juan.
Medical supply company Baxter International Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAX#NYSE">BAX</a>) <a href="https://www.baxter.com/perspectives/community-engagement/global-response-hurricane-maria">manufactures</a> MINI-BAG and MINI-BAG Plus container systems in Puerto Rico. Honeywell International Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>), a manufacturing conglomerate, also has operations on the island.
Since Tuesday is New Year&#8217;s Eve, companies may be less exposed to the outage, as operations may have wound down due to the holiday. Still, repeated outages may prove harmful to Puerto Rico&#8217;s economy.
