<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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 Bank of New York Mellon'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. 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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Bank of New York Mellon's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.14%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Shares of banks and financial services stocks are higher after the US and China agreed to a temporary reduction in most tariffs on each other's goods. A reduction in tariffs could alleviate macro uncertainty in the lending and deal environment.

Looking into the current session, Bank of New York Mellon Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE">BK</a>) shares are trading at $77.15, after a 0.75% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 6.58%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 37.68%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Bank of New York Mellon P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Bank of New York Mellon has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 26.9 of the Capital Markets industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745521220_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

10 Financials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Wall Street kicked off the week with a rally in financial stocks, fueled by upbeat bank earnings and renewed risk appetite following Donald Trump's surprise decision to exempt new tariffs on critical <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44785381/economist-accuses-trump-tariffs-of-wrecking-the-world-economy-predicts-ways-in-which-china-will-retaliate">tech products from China</a>.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) climbed 1.6% to $47.42 by 10:10 a.m. ET, breaking above its 200-day moving average for the first time since November 2023—a move often seen by traders as a potential bullish signal. 
The sector needs to climb another 4% to fully recover the losses it incurred after the April 2 tariff announcement.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs Delivers A Strong Beat</h3>
The improved sentiment in financial sector's rally was led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), which rose 1.1% after reporting robust quarterly results that beat Wall Street expectations on both revenue and profit.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Goldman posted earnings per share of $14.12, up from $11.58 a year ago and well ahead of the $14.761 billion revenue consensus. Key revenue drivers included equities trading, which brought in $4.19 billion versus an expected $3.8 billion, and net interest income of $2.90 billion, comfortably above the $2.28 billion forecast.
The firm also announced a massive share buyback authorization of up to $40 billion, sending a strong signal of confidence in its balance sheet and forward earnings power. Loans reached $210 billion, topping the $197.61 billion estimate, while total deposits rose 8.8% quarter-over-quarter to $471 billion.
CEO David Solomon says geopolitical volatility remains a headwind but struck an optimistic tone on trade policy. "I&#8217;m encouraged by Trump&#8217;s more gradual tariff process,&#8221; he added.

"JPM continues to be in strong strategic position for a wide range of economic conditions," Ramsden said, highlighting the bank's "best-in-class capital ratios and reserves,&#8221; Ramsden said in a note. He added that if the economy weakens, JPM should trade defensively, and if the outlook improves, the bank is likely to continue gaining market share.
