<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.

Investment bank and financial services company UBS Group AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) is said to be preparing to pay a significant amount, potentially in the hundreds of millions, to settle claims related to violations by Credit Suisse Group.
The settlement could be finalized as early as this week, according to a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/regulation/ubs-close-to-large-settlement-over-credit-suisse-tax-case-078f307e?mod=hp_lead_pos1" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from the Wall Street Journal.
These violations stem from Credit Suisse&#8217;s failure to adhere to a prior agreement with the U.S. Justice Department concerning American clients evading taxes.
UBS agreed to acquire its beleaguered peer Credit Suisse in 2023, creating a business with more than $5 trillion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/23/03/31412687/ubs-to-buy-troubled-peer-credit-suisse-for-sweetened-offer-at-whopping-73-discount-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">total invested assets</a>.
In 2023, the&nbsp;Senate Finance Committee&#8217;s findings of a two-year investigation uncovered major violations of a 2014 plea agreement by&nbsp;Credit Suisse&nbsp;with the&nbsp;Department of Justice&nbsp;for enabling tax evasion <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/03/31572355/credit-suisse-helped-rich-americans-hide-over-700m-despite-2014-doj-plea-wyden-investigation" rel="noreferrer noopener">by thousands of wealthy U.S. individuals.</a>
In 2014, the bank pleaded <a target="_blank" href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/credit-suisse-pleads-guilty-conspiracy-aid-and-assist-us-taxpayers-filing-false-returns" rel="noreferrer noopener">guilty </a>and agreed to pay a total of $2.6 billion, with $1.8 billion to the Department of Justice for the U.S. Treasury, $100 million to the Federal Reserve, and $715 million to the New York State Department of Financial Services.
The report noted that the U.S. Justice Department has long considered how best to hold Credit Suisse accountable following its acquisition by UBS in 2023.
UBS had set aside approximately $4 billion in provisions to reflect possible outflows from litigation, regulatory, and similar matters.
Price Action: UBS shares closed at $32.47 on Wednesday.

Shares of financial companies are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42273932/tech-stocks-rise-apple-tops-record-highs-dollar-surges-bitcoin-falls-to-95000-whats-driving-markets-monday">Stock market prices </a>are rising as 2024 ends and some people are worried about a possible downturn. But UBS (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) analysts say there's no need to stress. They think prices will keep going up in 2025 because of economic changes and how businesses operate.
In their report, &#8220;22x and Beyond: The Case for Higher Valuations or How to Worry Less and Love the Market,&#8221; UBS analysts argue that today's elevated stock prices are both sustainable and logical in the current economic environment. They point to several key factors underpinning this trend.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Last Chance to get 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.26/share!</a></li>
</ul>
One reason is that, instead of accounting for just 10% of the S&amp;P 500 index&#8217;s total value thirty years ago, tech businesses now account for 40%. These companies grow faster and make bigger profits than others and, as the report says, &#8220;The result – not surprisingly – is an upward shift in valuations for the market broadly.&#8221;
Another critical factor is the robust cash flow generated by large corporations, which need less money to run their operations. This allows them to give more back to their investors, which raises their stock prices.
Additionally, borrowing costs are still affordable even if Treasury yields are rising. According to UBS, tight credit spreads maintain a low cost of capital, which strengthens the stability of high stock prices.
Finally, UBS says the economy is stable and stock prices tend to rise when that happens. They don't expect a recession soon, so they believe prices will continue to grow in 2025.

They credit this to strong earnings, better productivity and shifts in which sectors perform well.
They think industries like finance, energy and consumer goods will lead the way and they see value in large-cap stocks that can handle inflation and higher interest rates. BoA also expects economic growth driven by improved productivity and believes Federal Reserve rate cuts will help the market.
While some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/11/42246831/morgan-stanley-sounds-alarm-for-markets-in-2025-sp-500-is-extremely-expensive">investors like Morgan Stanley</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) are cautious about the elevated price-to-earnings ratios and sound alarms about U.S. equity markets heading into 2025, UBS analysts urge them to focus on the fundamentals driving the market forward, saying, &#8220;The current premium is less about the potential of AI. Rather, it is a response to superior fundamentals, namely rapid sales growth and sustainably high EBIT margins.&#8221;

'Worry Less And Love The Market' – UBS Analysts Predict A Bullish 2025, Saying Prices Are Justified

The predictions for Wall Street&#8217;s 2025 stock market outlooks have been released, offering a range of expectations from modest gains to potential recessions. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 have shown remarkable growth since 2022, but the future remains uncertain.
What Happened: According to a report, the average 2025 year-end price target for the S&amp;P 500 is 6,539, suggesting a potential increase of approximately 8% from present levels. However, these predictions vary significantly.
BCA Research strategist&nbsp;Peter Berezin&nbsp;foresees a 2025 recession, resulting in a 26% drop in the S&amp;P 500. He attributes this to an expected global economic slowdown and a potential global trade war triggered&nbsp;by the incoming Trump administration.
Barry Bannister, chief equity strategist at Stifel, cautions about an impending correction of 10%-15% due to extreme stock market valuations. 
On the other hand, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) predicts an 11% rise in corporate profits, driven by a 2.5% annualized growth in the US economy and a 5% increase in corporate revenues, reports <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/2025-stock-market-investment-outlooks-wall-street-prediction-roundup-sp500-2024-12">the </a>Market Insider. 
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) CIO Mike Wilson encourages investors to maintain a bullish stance on stocks in 2025, citing potential interest-rate cuts from the Federal Reserve and the possibility of deregulation under the Trump administration.

JPMorgan&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) has transitioned&nbsp;from bear to bull in&nbsp;its 2025 outlook, increasing&nbsp;its year-end price target to&nbsp;6,500 due to an expanding&nbsp;business cycle and continued earnings&nbsp;growth.&nbsp;UBS&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) also predicts an upward trend in the stock market in 2025, setting&nbsp;a 6,600 price target for&nbsp;the S&amp;P 500.
However,&nbsp;Ned Davis Research&nbsp;cautions of potential threats to the bull market later in the year, while&nbsp;Bank of America&nbsp;strategist&nbsp;Savita Subramanian&nbsp;expects more subdued gains spread across sectors.
Despite the varied predictions, Wall Street remains cautiously optimistic about the stock market&#8217;s prospects in 2025.
Here's an in-depth look at Wall Street's outlook for the stock market in the year ahead, according to the Insider.

UK Regulator Scrutinizes Whatsapp Use By Some Credit Suisse Staff; FCA Reviewing Conduct Of Some CS Employees Now Employed By UBS; FCA Declines To Comment On Credit Suisse Whatsapp Review; UBS Says Not Aware Of "An Ongoing FCA Investigation Of This Nature"

Archegos Capital Management founder Bill Hwang was sentenced on Wednesday to 18 years in prison for fraud and market manipulation tied to the fund's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38718096/bill-hwangs-trial-begins-over-archegos-fund-collapse-what-to-expect">dramatic collapse in 2021.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Hwang was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in New York to slightly less time than the 21 years prosecutors had sought in the case. 
Hwang's lawyers had asked that he be given no prison time at all and Hwang asked the judge on Wednesday to impose a sentence that would allow him to continue to serve society. He also said that he felt "deep pain" about what happened at Archegos, according to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-20/archegos-founder-bill-hwang-sentenced-to-18-years-in-prison?sref=TBDibEcD">report.</a>

Hellerstein said Hwang's request for no jail time was "utterly ridiculous" considering the amount of money involved. 
"The amount of losses that were caused by your conduct are larger than any amount of losses I've deal with as a judge," Hellerstein said.
The judge also compared Hwang to FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who received a 25-year sentence for fraud.
"What was worse? Mr. Bankman-Fried's fraud or Mr. Hwang's fraud?" Hellerstein asked.
The jury found that Hwang directed Archegos staff to relay that the firm had large positions in companies such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>). Archegos actually invested heavily in a small group of stocks that could be more easily manipulated. 
The collapse at Archegos contributed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/11/29835374/troubled-lender-credit-suisse-flags-massive-loss-for-q4-as-it-speeds-up-turnaround-plans">to the demise </a>of Credit Suisse Group AG and rippled through Wall Street causing significant losses at Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), UBS Group AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>), Nomura Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMR#NYSE">NMR</a>) and other banks.
Former Archegos CFO Patrick Halligan was convicted alongside Hwang earlier in 2024 and will be sentenced separately in January.

Hedge Funder Linked To Credit Suisse Collapse Gets 18 Year Prison Sentence For Fraud, Market Manipulation

UBS Gr's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 26.67% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.85 million shares sold short, which is 0.22% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.11 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.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731948312_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for UBS Gr 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 UBS Gr'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.
