Archegos Capital Management founder Bill Hwang was sentenced on Wednesday to 18 years in prison for fraud and market manipulation tied to the fund's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38718096/bill-hwangs-trial-begins-over-archegos-fund-collapse-what-to-expect">dramatic collapse in 2021.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: Hwang was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in New York to slightly less time than the 21 years prosecutors had sought in the case. 
Hwang's lawyers had asked that he be given no prison time at all and Hwang asked the judge on Wednesday to impose a sentence that would allow him to continue to serve society. He also said that he felt "deep pain" about what happened at Archegos, according to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-20/archegos-founder-bill-hwang-sentenced-to-18-years-in-prison?sref=TBDibEcD">report.</a>

Hellerstein said Hwang's request for no jail time was "utterly ridiculous" considering the amount of money involved. 
"The amount of losses that were caused by your conduct are larger than any amount of losses I've deal with as a judge," Hellerstein said.
The judge also compared Hwang to FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who received a 25-year sentence for fraud.
"What was worse? Mr. Bankman-Fried's fraud or Mr. Hwang's fraud?" Hellerstein asked.
The jury found that Hwang directed Archegos staff to relay that the firm had large positions in companies such as Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>). Archegos actually invested heavily in a small group of stocks that could be more easily manipulated. 
The collapse at Archegos contributed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/11/29835374/troubled-lender-credit-suisse-flags-massive-loss-for-q4-as-it-speeds-up-turnaround-plans">to the demise </a>of Credit Suisse Group AG and rippled through Wall Street causing significant losses at Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), UBS Group AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>), Nomura Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMR#NYSE">NMR</a>) and other banks.
Former Archegos CFO Patrick Halligan was convicted alongside Hwang earlier in 2024 and will be sentenced separately in January.

Hedge Funder Linked To Credit Suisse Collapse Gets 18 Year Prison Sentence For Fraud, Market Manipulation

UBS Gr's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 26.67% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.85 million shares sold short, which is 0.22% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.11 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/">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>UBS Gr Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1731948312_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for UBS Gr 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 UBS Gr'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>, UBS Gr's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.83%, 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/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Peering Into UBS Gr's Recent Short Interest

Legendary investor Ken Fisher's hedge fund, Fisher Asset Management, grew the value of its portfolio by more than $14 billion dollars <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41030896/why-ken-fisher-says-capital-preservation-could-cost-you-big-in-retirement">in the last quarter</a>.

Treasury bonds are generally considered low-risk investments, which can help balance riskier assets in a diversified portfolio.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and $490 million worth of shares of oil and natural gas producer ConocoPhillips (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COP#NYSE">COP</a>).

New Holdings: One of the fund's most notable new holdings is Nu Holdings Ltd.

Fisher Asset management opened a position in Nu Holdings with approximately 7.23 million shares valued at more than $98.7 million.&nbsp;
The hedge fund also took a $28.3 million new position in wealth manager UBS Group AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) and opened a $17.2 million position in the iShares MSCI China A ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNYA#BATS">CNYA</a>), which tracks an index composed of Chinese equities available to international investors.

Individual investors can track hedge funds for investment ideas, successful strategies or compare their own performance against professional investors.&nbsp;

Shares of banking and private equity stocks are trading higher after Donald Trump won the US presidential election.

UBS Group shares are trading lower. The company reported Q3 financial results.

Swiss bank UBS Group AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) has announced impressive financial results for the third quarter of 2024. Following the earnings report, the stock rose 2.07% during the pre-market on Wednesday after closing at $32.82 on Tuesday.
What Happened: UBS reported $12.3 billion in revenues, beating the <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Wall Street </a>estimates of $10.7 billion while its earnings-per-share (EPS) was reported to be 0.43, beating the estimates by 53.57%.
The bank made a net profit of $1.4 billion for the quarter, with a return on CET1 capital (RoCET1) of 7.6% and an underlying RoCET1 of 9.4%. 
It experienced strong client momentum, with $25 billion in net new assets in Global Wealth Management, aligning with its target of $100 billion in net new assets for 2024.
Transactional activity was robust, with Global Wealth Management transaction-based income rising by 19% year-over-year, and Global Markets revenues increasing by 31% year-over-year. 
UBS also made significant reductions in non-core and legacy risk-weighted assets, cutting $5 billion in the third quarter of 2024 and $41 billion in the second quarter of 2023.

Why It Matters: The strong performance follows a successful second quarter, where UBS reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40360422/ubs-q2-earnings-beats-wealth-management-shines-cost-savings-accelerate-more">25% year-over-year increase</a> in sales, with Global Wealth Management&#8217;s net new assets reaching $26.9 billion. This consistent growth underscores UBS&#8217;s strategic focus on wealth management and cost savings.
Recently, UBS has been streamlining its operations, including the sale of its 50% stake in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41421951/american-express-to-become-sole-owner-of-swisscard-as-ubs-sells-its-50-stake">Swisscard to American Express</a>. This move aligns with UBS&#8217;s strategy to focus on core operations following its acquisition of Credit Suisse.
Additionally, UBS has been actively managing its legacy assets, as evidenced by the liquidation of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40394313/ubs-liquidates-2b-credit-suisse-real-estate-fund-amid-market-slump-report">$2 billion Credit Suisse </a>real estate fund amid a market slump. These strategic decisions highlight UBS&#8217;s commitment to optimizing its business model and enhancing shareholder value.

UBS Trades Higher During Pre-Market After Swiss Bank Tops Earnings Estimates With $1.4B Profit In Q3

Outlook
In the third quarter of 2024 we saw strong client activity against a market backdrop that, while constructive, still exhibited periods of high volatility and dislocation.
Entering the fourth quarter, we see a continuation of these market conditions sustained by the prospects of a soft landing in the US economy. However, the macroeconomic outlook in the rest of the world remains clouded. In addition to seasonality, the ongoing geopolitical conflicts and the upcoming US elections are creating uncertainties that are likely to affect investor behavior.
In the fourth quarter, we anticipate a mid-single digit decline in net interest income in Global Wealth Management and a low single-digit decline in Personal &amp; Corporate Banking. Non-core and Legacy is expected to generate a quarterly pre-tax loss in line with our earlier guidance.
The Group's non-personnel costs are expected to show a seasonal sequential uptick. The Group's quarterly tax rate is expected to be around 35%. Integration-related expenses are expected to be around USD 1.2bn and accretion of PPA effects to contribute around USD 0.5bn to the Group's total revenues.
As we stay close to clients, helping them navigate this environment, and execute on our priorities, we will continue to invest to drive sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders while maintaining a balance sheet for all seasons.

$1000 Invested In UBS Gr 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

CNBC host Jim Cramer has urged investors to consider buying American Express Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) shares <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41407367/american-express-mixed-q3-results-goldman-analyst-sees-silver-lining-in-expense-man">despite the recent dip in the stock price</a>.
What Happened: Cramer, on his show &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; highlighted the potential of American Express in the long term, especially in attracting younger customers. He emphasized the company&#8217;s strong earnings and credit quality, which he believes will only improve with the Federal Reserve&#8217;s ongoing interest rate cuts, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/21/jim-cramer-explains-why-you-should-buy-american-express-on-the-dip.html">reported</a> CNBC.
"American Express had tremendous success at winning over lots of younger customers, who will likely stick with the company for decades to come," Cramer said. "That's the big story here, not a line or two on the call about a softer spending environment&nbsp;right now, which management is handling with aplomb."&nbsp;
Despite a slight revenue miss and a downward revision of its full-year forecast, American Express reported a significant earnings beat. The company&#8217;s stock price fell by over 2% following the earnings report. Cramer believes that Wall Street is underestimating the company&#8217;s earnings strength and the potential for long-term growth.
He also lauded American Express for its success in attracting younger cardholders, a demographic he believes has a higher lifetime value than older customers. The company&#8217;s CFO, Christophe Le Caillec, noted on the earnings call that they are seeing strong loyalty from Millennial and Gen Z members.

Why It Matters: The recent dip in American Express&#8217; stock price follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41400722/american-express-q3-earnings-profit-beats-estimate-card-spending-grows-revises-annual-outlook">mixed third-quarter earnings repor</a>t. The company&#8217;s revenue (net of interest expenses) grew by 8% year-on-year to $16.64 billion, slightly missing the analyst consensus estimate of $16.67 billion. However, the adjusted EPS of $3.49 beat the analyst consensus estimate of $3.28.
Despite the revenue miss, the company&#8217;s Card Member spending or Billed Business grew by 6% (or 6% forex adjusted) year-over-year to $387.3 billion. This performance led analysts to increase their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41435324/american-express-analysts-increase-their-forecasts-after-q3-earnings">forecasts for the company&#8217;s future</a>.
Earlier in October, American Express announced that it would become the sole owner of Swisscard after UBS Group AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41421951/american-express-to-become-sole-owner-of-swisscard-as-ubs-sells-its-50-stake">sold its 50% stake</a>. 
Despite the mixed results, analysts noted that the company&#8217;s higher loan volumes, stable growth in Card Member spending, and accelerated card fee revenue growth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41407367/american-express-mixed-q3-results-goldman-analyst-sees-silver-lining-in-expense-man">triggered the topline growth</a>.
Price Action: American Express stock closed at $270.74 on Monday, down 2.19% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock slightly recovered, rising 0.28%. Year to date, American Express has gained 43.77%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Jim Cramer Says Buy The AmEx Dip Citing Love From Millennial And Gen Z Members — Younger Customers Will Stick With The 'Company For Decades'

UBS Gr's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 15.38% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.54 million shares sold short, which is 0.33% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 7.9 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/">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 UBS Gr 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 UBS Gr'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>, UBS Gr's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.05%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About UBS Gr?

American Express Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) is poised to become the sole owner of Swisscard after UBS Group AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBS#NYSE">UBS</a>) announced plans to sell its 50% stake. This comes just days after American Express reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41407367/american-express-mixed-q3-results-goldman-analyst-sees-silver-lining-in-expense-man"> mixed third-quarter results</a>, with revenue slightly below analyst expectations. 
What Happened: UBS is divesting its half-share in Swisscard to American Express, as per Reuters on Monday. This decision aligns with UBS&#8217;s strategic shift following its acquisition of Credit Suisse. The deal&#8217;s financial terms have not been disclosed, but Swisscard has reportedly confirmed the transaction.
This sale is part of UBS&#8217;s broader strategy to streamline its operations after the emergency takeover of Credit Suisse. UBS has stated that issuing cards through Swisscard no longer fits its strategic goals, and Credit Suisse customers will be moved to UBS&#8217;s existing credit card platform.
Swisscard has reassured stakeholders that the change in ownership will not immediately impact cardholders, merchants, or partners. The company will continue to issue cards under American Express, Mastercard, and Visa licenses in Switzerland.

UBS has been actively restructuring, having sold a stake in Credit Suisse Securities (China) in June and a former insurance-linked investment unit in July. The bank plans to inform Credit Suisse cardholders about new card issuance by mid-2025.
Why It Matters: The decision by UBS to sell its stake in Swisscard comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40394313/ubs-liquidates-2b-credit-suisse-real-estate-fund-amid-market-slump-report">a series of strategic divestments</a> following its acquisition of Credit Suisse. In August, UBS liquidated a $2 billion real estate fund from Credit Suisse, reflecting a broader effort to streamline its portfolio. The fund, known as the Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International, had seen a significant decline in value throughout 2023. 
Meanwhile, despite American Express&#8217; mixed results in the third quarter, there were positive signs in expense management and net interest income growth, suggesting potential for future performance improvements.
Price Action: On Friday, American Express closed 3.15% lower at $276.79 while UBS closed at $32.83, marking a 0.83% hike from its previous close, as per<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga Pro.</a>

Looking Into UBS Gr's Recent Short Interest

After securing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41175197/openais-latest-eye-popping-valuation-ignites-analyst-expectations-for-tidal-wave-of">whopping $6.6 billion funding</a> round, ChatGPT-parent&nbsp;OpenAI has bagged a&nbsp;$4 billion revolving credit line.
What Happened: The new credit facility will bolster its liquidity to $10 billion, allowing the AI startup to invest in high-cost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39856365/openai-in-talks-with-broadcom-to-develop-new-ai-chip-aims-to-reduce-reliance-on-nvidia-report">computing capacity</a> including Nvidia Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips.
&#8220;This credit facility further strengthens&nbsp;our balance sheet and provides&nbsp;flexibility to seize future growth&nbsp;opportunities,&#8221; said OpenAI CFO&nbsp;Sarah Friar, in a blog on Thursday.
The credit line is facilitated by a consortium of banks: JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), Banco Santander S.A.

Why It Matters: Earlier this week, OpenAI, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">valued at nearly $157 billion</a>, raised funds&nbsp;from returning venture capital investors&nbsp;such as&nbsp;Thrive Capital and Khosla Ventures.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), which has already invested approximately $13 billion into the AI firm over the last five years,&nbsp;and new investor Nvidia, also&nbsp;participated in the funding round.
Despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059344/sam-altman-hits-back-at-trolls-after-mira-muratis-openai-exit-explains-executive-drain-as-natural-we">major executive changes</a>, including the sudden exit of CTO Mira Murati, investors remain optimistic about OpenAI&#8217;s growth prospects.
However, OpenAI has also faced criticism from Elon Musk, who accused the company of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41156902/elon-musk-says-openai-is-evil-after-chatgpt-parent-reportedly-asked-investors-not-to-invest-in-rival">unfair funding practices</a>.
On the other hand, analysts expect a &#8220;tidal wave&#8221; of AI spending, with OpenAI&#8217;s latest valuation seen as a trigger for this growth stage.
