Federal student loan payments for some 8 million borrowers will remain on pause for six months or longer, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Education said.&nbsp;
The development on Monday comes as the administration has been dragged into a slew of legal battles waged by Republicans over its recent student loan relief efforts.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The borrowers who are excused from their monthly payments are those enrolled in the Biden administration's new SAVE plan.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for SLM has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing SLM'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://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, SLM's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.58%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

'Biden Administration Can Move Forward With Student Loan Forgiveness, For Now' - CNBC

Sallie Mae Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLM#NASDAQ">SLM</a>) stock is trading higher on Wednesday. Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) initiated coverage of the student loan provider with a Buy rating and set a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/09/41012042/demystifying-slm-insights-from-7-analyst-reviews">price target of $27</a>.
The Details: Sallie Mae currently holds a 58% market share in private student loans, however, the bank indicates there&#8217;s room for growth, describing the lender as &#8220;poised for market share gains.&#8221;
Bank of America points to growth in college enrollment, increase in the price of college and competitors leaving the student loan market to support its market share growth belief. Specifically, the bank stated that college enrollment is estimated to grow by about 4% by 2027 and the cost of college has increased at a 3% compound annual growth rate since 1993-94.
The bank pointed to the past as evidence of Sallie Mae&#8217;s ability to take advantage of competitors exit from the market. For instance, the lender increased its market share by 60pbs during the 2021-22 school year following Wells Fargo&#8217;s exit.
Also, the bank highlighted the lender&#8217;s focus on high credit-quality consumers. It stated that less than 8% of borrowers at the time of originations had a credit score lower than 670. Next, the note recognized the lender&#8217;s efficient business model.
&#8220;Sallie Mae began a strategy in 2020 in which it seeks to minimize balance sheet growth and accelerate share repurchases by selling student loans at high execution levels due to its strong credit profile. Through the &#8220;loan sale arbitrage&#8221; strategy, SLM has driven attractive returns, while not needing to expand capital levels to sustain its industry leading origination volumes,&#8221; said the bank.
Bank of America also recognized some risks to its thesis including, scrutiny by oversight organizations like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and a growing number of students choosing to consolidate or refinance with firms that offer interest rates lower than Sallie Mae&#8217;s.

Demystifying SLM: Insights From 7 Analyst Reviews

Millions of Americans are poised to take hits to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40611128/us-supreme-court-declines-to-revive-biden-administrations-student-debt-relief-plan">their credit ratings</a> as the Biden administration&#8217;s one-year moratorium on reporting late student loan payments to credit agencies will come to an end in just a few weeks.
About 9.7 million, or 29%, of student loan borrowers in the U.S. were late on payments, according a <a href="http://chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.gao.gov/assets/880/870313.pdf">report </a>released in late July by the Government Accountability Office. About 60% of those borrowers were at least three months behind in payments.
 In March 2020, a forbearance on student loans put in place by former President Donald Trump allowed borrowers to stop making loan payments without incurring interest costs and getting reported to the credit agencies.

That forbearance ended on Sept. 30, 2023, so President Joe Biden implemented a 12-month &#8220;on-ramp&#8221; period during which student loan servicers could not report loan delinquencies to credit agencies.
That provision will end on Sept. 30, leaving millions of borrowers who are still late on their loans open to damaging hits to their credit scores, which banks use to approve loans, landlords use to approve rental agreements and so on. 
Transfers from Education to the Treasury indicate a steady fall in student loan repayments over the past year. Last summer, monthly transfers were about $7 billion, but that figure fell last month the figure to $4.1 billion.
The Biden administration has forgiven some $168.5 billion in student debt through various programs, but the courts have blocked its attempts to pass a Save on a Valuable Education (SAVE) student loan relief program.
Most recently, U.S. District Judge J. Randal Hall temporarily blocked the Biden administration&#8217;s latest student debt relief plan on Sept. 5 in a lawsuit brought by Seven Republican-led states.

Student Loan Protection Soon Ends, 9.7M Borrowers Should Be Worried About Their Credit Ratings

U.S. District Judge J. Randal Hall on Thursday temporarily blocked the Biden administration's latest student debt relief plan in a lawsuit brought by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40696394/inflation-jobs-and-taxes-how-trump-and-harris-economic-policies-differ">seven Republican-led states (Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, North Dakota and Ohio). </a>
The Details: Judge Hall issued a<a href="https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/mopaqgblapa/09052024studentloan.pdf"> temporary restraining order</a> after Republican state attorneys general<a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/republican-led-us-states-sue-over-new-biden-student-debt-relief-plan-2024-09-03/"> </a>filed a lawsuit to block a rule the Education Department proposed which would allow it to provide full or partial deft relief to certain types of borrowers.

The judge determined that the suit had established a likelihood of proving the Education Department lacked authority to cancel student loans.&nbsp;
&#8220;This is especially true in light of the recent rulings across the country striking down similar federal student loan forgiveness plans,&#8221; Hall wrote.
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a Biden administration plea in a separate case that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40633593/whats-going-on-with-sofi-technologies-stock">sought to revive</a> the Savings on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan to provide relief to borrowers with federal student loan debt.
Why It Matters: The court&#8217;s denial is potentially a positive development for student loan providers including SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>), Navient Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAVI#NASDAQ">NAVI</a>) and SLM Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLM#NASDAQ">SLM</a>). Student loan providers would lose revenue in the form of interest payments and loan origination fees if student loan forgiveness or deferment resulted from a debt relief plan. 
SOFI, NAVI, SLM Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, SoFi Technologies shares ended Thursday's session down 2.94% at $7.26, Navient shares closed down 0.25% at $15.99 and SLM shares ended Thursday 0.99% lower at $20.93.

US Judge Temporarily Blocks Biden's Latest Student Loan Relief Plan: Why It Matters

U.S. Judge Temporarily Blocks New Biden Student Debt Forgiveness Plan At Urging Of Republican-Led States

Macro Notification

Republican-Led States File Lawsuit Against Biden's New Student Debt Forgiveness Plan​

The Supreme Court rejected a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39849095/appeals-court-blocks-bidens-save-student-loan-debt-relief-plan">Biden administration plea </a>Wednesday that sought to revive the Savings on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan to tackle federal student loan debt.
In a brief order, the court denied an emergency request filed by the administration that sought to lift a nationwide injunction imposed by an appeals court. 
There were no noted dissents, CNBC <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-refuses-revive-bidens-latest-student-loan-debt-relief-pl-rcna167455">reported</a>.
The Education Department issued a regulation finalizing SAVE in July 2023, the month after the Supreme Court ruled that the administration lacked authority to implement President Joe Biden's earlier loan forgiveness program.
The new effort, like the previous one, was challenged by multiple conservative-leaning states.
The new proposal has several provisions, including one that would cap the amount people have to repay for undergraduate loans at 5% of their incomes. Previously the cap was 10%.
Opponents to SAVE say it would require spending up to $475 billion that was not authorized by Congress. They say it should be blocked for the same reason that the Supreme Court blocked Biden's earlier plan.

Under the "major questions" doctrine embraced by the court's conservative justices, federal agencies cannot initiate sweeping new policies that have significant economic effects without having authorization from Congress.
The states argue in court papers that the Biden administration's "assertion of unfettered authority to cancel every penny of every loan is staggering."
In an Aug. 9 decision, the St. Louis, Missouri-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a more sweeping injunction putting the entire plan, which has about 8 million borrowers on it, on hold.
The denial comes as the Biden administration&#8217;s 12-month &#8220;on-ramp&#8221; period for loan repayments approaches expiration on Sept. 30 following the end of former President Donald Trump&#8217;s pandemic forbearance a year earlier.
The Trump forbearance, which began in March 2020, allowed borrowers to stop making loan payments without incurring interest costs and getting reported to the credit agencies.
Once the Biden &#8220;on-ramp&#8221; period ends, student loan servicers can start reporting payment delinquencies on loans to credit agencies.
Biden&#8217;s &#8220;on-ramp&#8221; period, which began on Sept. 30 of last year, prohibited loan servicers from reporting late payments to credit agencies in an effort to give borrowers the chance to work loan payments back into their budgets after not paying them for 3.5 years, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/26/student-loan-payment-on-ramp-ends-september-30.html">reported</a>.
