Intercontinental Exchange's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.21% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 5.17 million shares sold short, which is 0.91% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Intercontinental Exchange 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 Intercontinental Exchange'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>, Intercontinental Exchange's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.25%, 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>

$100 Invested In Intercontinental Exchange 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Editor&#8217;s Note: The article has been udpated to correct the Stock Movers list.
Wall Street pushed higher in midday trading, with the S&amp;P 500 on track for its eighth consecutive gain — its longest winning streak since November 2023. The index rose about 1% to 5,560, fully recovering the losses sustained after former President Donald Trump announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">trade tariffs on April 2.</a>
Technology stocks led the rally, with the Nasdaq 100 climbing 1.5%. Strong and resilient corporate earnings continue to fuel investor appetite for risk, helping markets shrug off recent tariff concerns.
President Trump reassured investors, stating that progress on trade negotiations is going "very well" and that the timeline for the tax bill remains on schedule.
On the economic front, data continued to paint a weaker picture. After Wednesday's disappointing first-quarter GDP report, the ISM manufacturing PMI showed factory activity contracted for the second straight month in April. Meanwhile, price pressures surged at the fastest pace since June 2022, reflecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45139383/us-manufacturing-activity-contracts-in-april-as-tariffs-push-input-prices-toward-3-year-highs">inflationary effects from tariffs.</a>
Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>) was a standout gainer, soaring 8.60% after delivering a blowout quarter that beat expectations across the board, reinforcing its leadership in cloud and AI. The stock reached its highest level since late January.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) also topped estimates, with shares climbing more than 4%.
Sector-wise, technology outperformed, while health care lagged. Eli Lilly And Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) plunged over 9% after the pharmaceutical giant cut its 2025 guidance.
Crude oil erased early losses, rebounding to $58 per barrel after briefly dipping below $57. Gold slipped 2.2% to a two-week low.
The U.S. dollar strengthened to its highest level in over two weeks, bolstered by manufacturing surveys showing rising input costs tied to tariffs.
Treasury yields climbed for a second straight session, with the 10-year yield rising to 4.21%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged past the $97,000 mark, hitting its highest level in over two months.

Shares of capital market companies are trading higher following President Trump's decision to implement a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all countries except China.

Macro uncertainty has delayed the timeline for an IPO comeback, but there remains substantial pent-up supply for equity issuance.
That&#8217;s according to BofA Securities analyst Craig Siegenthaler, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/exchanges" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained all of his</a> ratings and continues to look for a reopening in the second half of 2025. 
This will restart Nasdaq, Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDAQ#NASDAQ">NDAQ</a>) strategic flywheel across listings, trading, and corporate services, he says.

Siegenthaler continued to forecast the highest 12-month upside for: 
<ul>
<li>Tradeweb Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TW#NASDAQ">TW</a>); Buy rating, price target $212 from $197.</li>
<li>BGC Group, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BGC#NASDAQ">BGC</a>); Buy rating, price target $15 from $16.</li>
<li>Nasdaq; Buy rating, price target $105 from $103.</li>
<li>Cboe Global Markets, Inc (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>); Buy rating, price target $260 from $251.</li>
</ul>
There is a significant runway left in the electronification of fixed-income markets at Tradeweb Markets, and given their considerable rates business, the analyst noted that Tradeweb Markets will capitalize on the political uncertainty in Washington.
Siegenthaler will look for BGC Group to launch Treasury futures within days and expect their share of the $2 billion revenue per year interest rate futures market to continue accelerating, surpassing 10% in 2027.
The increasingly uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop produced ideal conditions for trading across asset classes. 
Accordingly, Siegenthaler raised EPS for his entire market structure coverage. While the analyst expects some downward normalization in volumes into the second half of 2025 (in parallel with a pickup in IPOs), ongoing geopolitical uncertainty will remain an important trading catalyst.
Given his view of second-half normalizations, we are less bullish on Exchange stocks (which outperformed) than the Alts and Brokers.
With market structure stocks up 8% on average in the first quarter of 2025, Nasdaq and Virtu Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIRT#NASDAQ">VIRT</a>) — Buy rating, price target $48 from $56 — have lagged the group.
Nevertheless, the analyst forecasted over 10% first-quarter 2025 EPS beats for both stocks.
Both companies have benefitted from the surge in equity volume in the first quarter of 2025.
Assets under management linked to the Nasdaq-100 have faced beta headwinds related to the choppy equity markets year-to-date. One-third of their indexing revenue is derived from Nasdaq-100 futures, which posted their strongest growth quarter in years (up 38% sequentially) and are seeing strong adoption at the online brokers. In addition, the annual listing price hike (estimated 5%) should more than offset any delisting headwinds. 
Meanwhile, Virtu Financial should also see solid results across its organic initiatives, with industry volumes in options, ETFs, and fixed income higher sequentially.
MarketAxess Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKTX#NASDAQ">MKTX</a>) — Underperform rating, price target $191 from $189 — rallied 12% in March. 
Investors embedded an industrywide mix shift into A2A RFQ, where they are dominant. Siegenthaler noted that portfolio trading (PT) and D2D trading have also logged impressive volumes month-to-date, up 18% and 11% month-on-month (versus +9% for TRACE).
Tradeweb Markets remains dominant in both of these market segments. Accordingly, the analyst does not expect MarketAxess Holdings to post higher market share gains than Tradeweb Markets in March. Meanwhile, Intercontinental Exchange Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICE#NYSE">ICE</a>) — Buy rating, price target $230 from $237 — will likely experience near-term cyclical headwinds in its mortgage and listing business.
Cboe Global Markets, Inc (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>) — Buy rating, price target $260 from $251 — and Tradeweb Markets could see a sequentially adverse product mix shift, given a lower contribution from SPX and muni bonds. 
Futures and index options usage CME Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CME#NASDAQ">CME</a>) — Underperform rating, price target $219 from $200 — and Cboe Global Markets on Robinhood is ramping nicely. La Nina has been a helpful catalyst for commodity futures. The Mr. Cooper and Rocket Mortgage deal will cost Intercontinental Exchange approximately 410 bps of servicing share and 130 bps of origination share, which the analyst noted amounts to a $72 million headwind.
