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

Shares of autonomous delivery provider Serve Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SERV#NASDAQ">SERV</a>) are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener">trading higher</a> on Wednesday.
The company has rolled out its <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/g43809449/serve-robotics-expands-to-miami-metro-offering-autonomous-delivery-for-shake-shack-and-mister-o1" rel="noreferrer noopener">services in the Miami metropolitan area</a>. This expansion comes alongside an enhanced partnership with Shake Shack Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHAK#NYSE">SHAK</a>) and the introduction of a new collaboration with Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza.
Customers in the Miami Beach and Brickell areas who place orders from these restaurants through Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) online food platform, Uber Eats can now have their deliveries made by Serve&#8217;s autonomous robots.
Serve&#8217;s recent expansion strengthens its existing footprint in Los Angeles, with plans to move into the Dallas-Fort Worth area next.
&#8220;Expanding to the Miami Metro is a major step in our mission to make sustainable, autonomous delivery a reality across the U.S.,&#8221; said&nbsp;CEO and co-founder Ali Kashani.

&#8220;By bringing robotic delivery to forward-thinking communities that embrace innovation, we&#8217;re helping reduce emissions and traffic congestion while supporting local restaurants and enhancing the customer experience.&#8221;
The Brickell and Miami Beach neighborhoods, which have over 120,000 residents and active commercial zones, offer an optimal setting for eco-friendly robotic delivery services.
Serve Robotics&#8217; Miami launch aligns with its long-term strategy to deploy 2,000 autonomous robots across the U.S. by 2025, strengthening its position in autonomous delivery.
In December 2024, Serve Robotics secured <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42812910/autonomous-delivery-provider-serve-robotics-shares-soar-on-167m-funding-in-december" rel="noreferrer noopener">$86 million in funding</a>, bringing its total investments for the year to $167 million. The company plans to use this capital to advance the development of its third-generation robots, expand its operations, and enter additional markets.
However, last week, the company&#8217;s shares tumbled after a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43729865/serve-robotics-tumbles-after-nvidia-exit-shakes-investor-confidence" rel="noreferrer noopener">regulatory filing disclosed</a>&nbsp;Nvidia Corp, which held a 10% equity as of July 18, 2024, had no more stake in the company.
Price Action: SERV shares are trading higher by 17.9% at $13.93 at the last check Wednesday.

</ul>

Stocks are headed for weekly gains, with the Dow Jones dipping slightly and the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq trading just above the flatline Friday. Traders are digesting weaker-than-expected retail sales and the potential for peace talks<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43732115/explosion-rocks-chernobyl-nuclear-site-as-zelenskyy-signals-readiness-for-peace-talks"> between Russia and Ukraine.&nbsp;</a>
Retail sales in the U.S. fell 0.9% month-over-month in January, significantly worse than the anticipated 0.1% drop. However, markets are largely shrugging off the weaker-than-expected retail sales figures which were likely affected by January's cold weather and California wildfires, as well as the upward revision of December results.
Geopolitical tensions eased slightly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43732115/explosion-rocks-chernobyl-nuclear-site-as-zelenskyy-signals-readiness-for-peace-talks"> told reporters</a> at the Munich Security Conference on Friday that he is willing to participate in Trump&#8217;s peace initiative and eventual talks with Russia.
The price of Crude Oil slid another 0.52% Friday and is down 9.9% over the past month as the market reacted to President Donald Trump&#8216;s plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on trade partners and news of potential peace talks to end the war in Ukraine.
The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell to below the 4.5% threshold on Friday, extending its pullback after January's retail sales data may have indicated some weakness in the U.S. consumer. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rose 0.7%. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose above the $98,000 level on a midday rally Friday and XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) climbed more than 7%.

<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 Serve Robotics's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>

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.
