Short selling is also quite entertaining if you’re watching from the sidelines. And it was one aspect of the market that caught media waves by storm during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic. The conditions created by the virus, namely lockdowns that left people with nothing much to do but sit in front of their computer screens and receive money from the government in the form of stimulus checks, created a rather interesting set of conditions. The retail investing boom of the pandemic is a well known fact by now, and one way in which it materialized was in the form of serious share price action around GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME).

GameStop is a well known retailer and is a one-stop shop for anyone’s gaming needs. However, like other traditional brick and mortar retailers, the firm has struggled to adapt to a digital age, and its operations were particularly harmed when video game developers cut the middle man and allowed gamers to directly download games. Not only did this reduce the price that gamers paid for their favorite titles, but firms also managed to reduce the costs of selling games, in a win win situation for both that left GameStop scratching its head.

Analysts and hedge funds were as hawk eyed as ever and had shorted GameStop’s shares as they believed that the firm would continue to bleed cash and lose market share. However, retail investors teamed up on Reddit and started buying the company’s shares in bulk. These purchases were large enough to boost GameStop’s share price from roughly $2.5 in April 2020 to a stunning $483 in January 2021 roughly three weeks after the meme buying frenzy started on Reddit. In the immediate aftermath of the retail stock frenzy, short sellers in GameStop had lost $6 billion and some hedge funds even went out of business.

Since then, even though GameStop buffeted its cash reserves by issuing more shares, the firm has been unable to successfully undertake a turnaround. GameStop has gone through multiple chief executive officers and chief financial officers and experimented with non fungible tokens (NFTs). The firm continues to post annual losses and its quarterly revenues continue to remain flat. However, GameStop still has plenty of cash left from its earlier share sales, so the jury’s still out about the firm. As to what analysts think, the average share price target is $13.10 for a $5 downside from the current share price of $18.37. Analysts have also rated the shares as Underperform which have lost 35% over the past 12 months but made modest 6% gains this year.

So, looks like short sellers are often on the dot when they short stocks, and today we’ll look at some stocks with the lowest short interest. As a primer, short interest measures the number of shares of a firm that are sold short on the market, and if you’re interested in learning even more details about short selling and different strategies, then take a look at 16 Most Shorted Stocks Right Now. Some top stocks on today’s list are Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:HON), Mercantile Bank Corporation (NASDAQ:MBWM), and Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE).

Our Methodology

To compile our list of the stocks with the lowest short interest, we simply ranked the top fifteen stocks with the lowest short interest as a percentage of their float. Only companies with a market capitalization greater than $300 million were chosen since micro cap and other smaller stocks often have limited liquidity which makes short selling difficult.

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Published on June 23, 2025 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

The AI infrastructure supercycle
The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
A surge in U.S. LNG exports
And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.
