NEUTRAL IMPACT
State Street's short percent of float has increased, indicating a bearish sentiment among traders. However, it has less short interest than most of its peers, which could be a positive sign.
An increase in short interest indicates that more traders are betting that the stock price will fall. However, having less short interest than its peers could mean that traders are less bearish on State Street compared to other similar companies. This could potentially limit the downside risk for the stock in the short term.
