NEUTRAL IMPACT
Nucor's short interest has increased, which may indicate bearish sentiment, but it remains below the peer group average. The impact on the stock price is uncertain as high short interest can lead to a short squeeze.
While the increase in short interest suggests that investors may be expecting the price of Nucor's stock to fall, the fact that it is below the peer average and the complexity of short interest as an indicator means the short-term impact on the stock price is not clear-cut. High short interest can sometimes lead to a short squeeze if the stock price starts to rise, which would be bullish for the stock.
