Morgan Stanley's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 15.83% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 14.30 million shares sold short, which is 1.17% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.6 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?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>Morgan Stanley Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749754831_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Morgan Stanley 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 Morgan Stanley'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>, Morgan Stanley's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.20%, 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>

What Does the Market Think About Morgan Stanley?

In the current market session, Morgan Stanley Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) stock price is at $131.61, after a 0.16% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 0.42%, and in the past year, by 38.21%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Morgan Stanley P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 21.27 in the Capital Markets industry, Morgan Stanley Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 15.45. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749672083_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.

Intraday Update

P/E Ratio Insights for Morgan Stanley

A quiet M&amp;A desk is a sorry sight for a banker and a lost opportunity for an investor. But that may be about to end. Citigroup has predicted a strong rebound in banking fees this quarter, fueled by increasing equity underwriting and M&amp;A activity, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/citi-expects-banking-fees-trading-revenue-climb-despite-us-tariff-anxiety-2025-06-10/">reported</a> Reuters. After a bleak spell of deal famine, the signs are for a fee feast, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF investors</a> might do well to bring a plate.
Citi's forecast suggests mid-single-digit growth in banking fees in the second quarter, alongside a surge in trading revenues. While equities and fixed-income trading are already showing muscle, the advisory and underwriting sides of the business could be gearing up for a comeback.
And when Wall Street feasts, the financial ETFs don't stay hungry for long.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">M&amp;A's Are Back On The Menu</h2>
Mergers and IPOs were shelved for most of 2023 and early 2024, courtesy of wild interest rates and recession anxiety. But with inflation cooling and the Fed suggesting a possible rate-cutting cycle, corporate confidence is coming back into play—laying the groundwork for increased deals.
&#8220;Given the amount of capital flowing through M&amp;A—some $3.4 trillion in 2024—and the decades of research showing that programmatic acquirers create more value than peers, investing in M&amp;A capabilities makes sense,&#8221; a February <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/m-and-a/our-insights/top-m-and-a-trends">report </a>by McKinsey &amp; Company said.
&#8220;M&amp;A continues to be super active &#8212; there&#8217;s a lot of dialog, a lot of engagement,&#8221; Citi said in its recent outlook, commenting on improved pipelines in equity capital markets and advisory services. If the momentum continues, fee-based revenue will climb sharply in top banks.
That directly affects ETFs that track financial institutions, especially those more exposed to advisory-heavy banks such as Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), JPMorgan (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>).
ETFs That Could Ride The Deal Wave
SPDR Select Sector Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>)
Why it&#8217;s important: With heavy weightage to Citi, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America, XLF is a front-line winner of increased banking fees. It&#8217;s one of the most liquid sector ETFs, too, ideal for active traders and institutions.
SPDR S&amp;P Bank ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBE#NYSE">KBE</a>)
Why it matters: Provides equal-weight exposure to large and mid-cap banks. Though more interest-rate spread-sensitive, it would be helped if M&amp;A activity comes to regional players or smaller institutions, which is possible in the current environment.
SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>)
Why it matters: If transactional activity filters down into regional consolidations, most notably in commercial banking, KRE might benefit from acquisition premiums and improved fee margins.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
The fat-fee, fancy-bonus era may not be here yet—but it&#8217;s around the corner. As banks prepare for a wave of deal-making and advisory activity, sector-specific ETFs can potentially provide a low-friction means of accessing the rebound.
And, if Wall Street&#8217;s having a fee feast this quarter, perhaps it&#8217;s time to take a fork and some judiciously selected tickers.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence venture xAI is reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44404525/elon-musk-paid-high-price-for-twitter-but-after-years-of-declining-value-x-is-once-again-worth-44-billion">seeking to raise $5 billion</a> through loans and bonds with the help of Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), amid lingering debt concerns from his Twitter acquisition and a political split with Donald Trump.
What Happened: Morgan Stanley has begun marketing a $5 billion debt package for xAI, offering investors two options: a floating-rate loan priced at 97 cents on the dollar with a rate of 700 basis points over the SOFR benchmark, or a fixed-rate loan and bond deal at 12%, reported Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter.
According to the report, the offering is a "best efforts" deal, meaning Morgan Stanley will not guarantee the full raise or commit its own capital—an approach reflecting caution amid uncertain macroeconomic and political conditions.
The bank held investor meetings last week to present preliminary financials for xAI, the report added.
Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It's Important: The decision to avoid financial commitment may stem from the $13 billion debt Morgan Stanley and other banks underwrote in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/mutual-funds/24/09/41103959/elon-musk-bought-x-for-44b-now-fidelity-values-social-media-network-below-10b">Musk's 2022 Twitter buyout</a>, which they were unable to offload for over two years, the report said.
That debt was only sold earlier this year after X's operating performance improved and investor interest returned.
The $5 billion raise also comes as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45852346/elon-musk-recently-said-yes-to-impeaching-trump-and-the-odds-of-that-happening-in-2025-rose-on-this-crypto-betting-market">Musk's political ties with President Trump</a> have deteriorated, creating uncertainty around the federal support his companies may receive.
xAI is also reportedly pursuing $20 billion in equity funding at a valuation between $120 billion and $200 billion, the report noted, citing people familiar with the matter.

'Musk's xAI Launches $5 Billion Debt Sale Through Morgan Stanley' - Bloomberg News

As Donald Trump&#8216;s administration nears completion of a proposal to ease big bank rules, Wall Street&#8217;s megabanks are largely expected to cheer the lower supplementary leverage ratio (SLR), allowing them to hold fewer capital reserves against their assets.
What Happened: Analysts largely agree that the Trump administration's push to ease big bank rules, particularly the SLR, is a boon for banks and could stimulate broader economic growth.
Gennadiy Goldberg, the head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/31/trump-administration-prepares-to-ease-big-bank-rules-00377347">told </a>Politico that easing capital rules for the banks will free the capital to buy more U.S. Treasuries
However, Phillip Basil, Better Markets&#8217; director of economic growth and financial stability, told Politico that lowering big banks&#8217; capital requirements heightens financial stability risks, accusing the banking industry of exploiting recent Treasury market turmoil as a pretext to push for long-sought regulatory relief.
Meanwhile, Kepp Loeffler, the administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, said that Small businesses &#8220;can win with a level playing field – ESPECIALLY combined with tax cuts and deregulation.&#8221;
