Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Raymond James Finl Stock In The Last 5 Years

Wall Street is struggling to find risk-on momentum, with major indexes stuck near the flatline at midday as investors assess the latest earnings reports from mega-cap tech stocks and weaker-than-expected U.S. economic growth in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43336153/us-economy-grows-below-q4-estimates-as-consumer-spending-hits-7-quarter-high"> final quarter of 2024.</a>
After Tuesday's rally — which followed a selloff triggered by DeepSeek&#8217;s impact earlier in the week — caution has taken hold, signaling the wounds from the downturn are still fresh.
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) is among the hardest-hit stocks, plunging more than 6%, which could mark its worst daily decline<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43333060/msft-stock-declines-over-4-in-premarket-after-q2-results-ceo-satya-nadella-says-deepseek-has-some-r"> since October 2022</a>.
Despite reporting overall stronger-than-expected earnings, Microsoft&#8217;s cloud segment, Azure, fell short of growth expectations, and the company slightly missed its revenue guidance for the ongoing quarter.
In contrast, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) climbed 1.7% post-earnings, reaching new all-time highs.
Another major laggard was United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>), which plummeted 15%, potentially heading for its worst single-day drop <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43335015/ups-q4-earnings-major-customer-volume-cut-raises-jitters-stock-tanks">since going public in 2002</a>.
UPS Chief Financial Officer Brian Dykes revealed during the earnings call the company reached an agreement in principle with Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) to significantly cut the volume of packages it handles for the e-commerce giant, aiming for a 50% reduction by the second half of 2026.
The U.S. dollar and bond yields remained stable following the Federal Reserve's decision Wednesday to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.5%.
Among commodities, precious metals stood out, with gold rising 1.4% to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/01/43348204/gold-hits-record-high-as-central-banks-ease-stance-5-mining-stocks-rally">new all-time highs </a>and silver climbing 2.4%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 1% to around $105,000.

Caution dominates Wednesday's midday trading session in New York as investors anxiously await the Federal Open Market Committee decision <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">at 2 p.m. ET</a>.
The Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.5%. Market participants remain highly focused on any signals from Fed Chair Jerome Powell regarding the path forward for rate cuts.
The December meeting delivered a shock to markets, with Powell adopting a more hawkish tone than anticipated, suggesting that interest rates have moved closer to a neutral zone.
This FOMC meeting is also the first since Donald Trump's administration took office, fueling speculation over whether Powell will address questions about the president's pledge to &#8220;lower interest rates immediately.&#8221;
Major equity indices are little changed, with tech stocks under slight pressure as Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) fell 5%, weighing on the sector. Tech titans Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) will report earnings after the close, with investors awaiting management clarity over the DeepSeek AI competitive threat.
Among sectors, financial stocks — tracked by the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) — hit fresh record highs, while communication services are on pace for their eighth consecutive session of gains.
The dollar and Treasury yields remain mostly flat ahead of the Fed's announcement. Commodities are mixed, with gold and oil down 0.4% and 0.9%, respectively, while silver and copper rise 1.2% and 1.1%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is up 1% to $102,300, potentially snapping a four-session losing streak.

<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.

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>, Raymond James Finl's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.19%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
