<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>PNC Finl Servs Gr P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of 13.38 in the Banks industry, PNC Finl Servs Gr Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 15.71. Shareholders might be inclined to think that PNC Finl Servs Gr Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730126729_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.

<h3>Evaluating PNC Finl Servs Gr P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</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 13.44 in the Banks industry, PNC Finl Servs Gr Inc. has a higher P/E ratio of 15.96. Shareholders might be inclined to think that PNC Finl Servs Gr Inc. might perform better than its industry group. It's also possible that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729261810_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

PNC Financial Services shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 financial results.

A wave of market-relevant news fueled an active trading session on Wall Street Tuesday, with large-cap indices falling due to sharp declines in tech and energy stocks, while small-caps outperformed, led by gains in regional banks.
At the forefront of the headlines is the massive plunge in ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) shares. The Dutch chipmaker&#8217;s stock nosedived over 16% after a technical error prematurely revealed its third-quarter earnings, originally scheduled for Wednesday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41339229/asml-earnings-leak-sparks-broad-semiconductor-sell-off-sector-down-sharply-as-dutch-chipmaker-lo">on the company&#8217;s website. </a>
The report disclosed weaker-than-expected guidance for 2025, leading to the worst single-day drop in ASML stock since it went public in 2002.
ASML&#8217;s collapse sent shockwaves across the semiconductor sector, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) falling more than 4%, marking its worst performance since early September. Key semiconductor players were hit hard, with NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) down 5% and Arm Holdings PLC-ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) tumbling 7%.
Another underperforming sector was energy. Oil prices plunged 5%, setting up their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/10/41336413/oil-prices-take-largest-plunge-in-over-a-year-as-israel-vows-to-spare-iranian-facilities-energy-stoc">worst trading day in over a year. </a>
The sell-off followed a Monday&#8217;s report from The Washington Post, which revealed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured the Biden administration Israel would refrain from targeting Iranian oil and nuclear facilities in any retaliatory military actions.
Meanwhile, the financial sector surged, extending its all-time highs as Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), and Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) all posted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41331839/financial-sector-hits-record-highs-as-goldman-sachs-bank-of-america-citi-beat-q3-ea">stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings.</a>
Gains also spread to more economically sensitive regional banks, with the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>) jumping over 3%, lifting the broader Russell 2000 index by 1%.
In other markets, both the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields remained steady, as there were no major updates on interest-rate expectations. Gold edged up by 0.6%, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continued its recent momentum, climbing 1.3% after a 5.1% surge on Monday.

PNC Financial Surges Past Q3 Expectations With Revenue Boost And Strong Fee Growth

Wall Street mood has become circumspect as traders gear up to receive a slew of earnings reports this week <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41319060/s-p-500-extends-record-highs-dow-breaks-43-000-ahead-of-pivotal-earnings-week-bitco">amid the market&#8217;s record run.</a> The Nasdaq Composite has been a laggard among the major averages and it remains to be seen if the early sentiment reverses and tech stocks could finish the session with a flourish. 
A spate of earnings due ahead of the market may set the tone for the day&#8217;s trading. Traders may also focus on any potential preannouncements, the results of a regional manufacturing survey and a couple of speeches by Federal Reserve officials. Energy stocks could lose their verve amid the sharp retreat in energy prices amid waning demand and supply concerns. Bond yields continue to hold firm.

Cues From Last Session:
Optimism concerning tech earnings season abounded on Wall Street on Monday as the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Indices opened solidly higher and moved roughly sideways before closing higher. The 30-stock Dow opened lower as Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) served as a drag, but the blue-chip average recouped its losses and moved higher in late-morning trading and stayed in the green for the remainder of the session.
As a result, the Dow and S&amp;P 500 set fresh closing and intraday highs, with the former topping 43,000 for the first time ever. The Nasdaq Composite is just under seven points from its all-time high of 18,509.34.
All but one of the S&amp;P 500 sector indices closed higher for the day, with energy stocks notching a marginal loss. IT and utility stocks were the biggest gainers of the session, led by Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). The artificial intelligence stalwart ended the session at a record high.

Insights From Analysts:
Cyclical stocks are poised for relative outperformance, thanks to the recent data that reinforces the resilience of the economy, according to Morgan Stanley analysts. But positioning in cyclicals remains light, said the firm&#8217;s Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson. 
&#8220;This creates opportunity in a sector that we upgraded to overweight last week given rebounding capital markets activity, a better loan growth environment in 2025, an acceleration in buybacks post Basel Endgame re-proposal, and attractive relative valuation,&#8221; he said.
The focus now shifts to the general election, Wilson said. The three high-level dynamics which are still important, according to the strategist, are:
<ul>
<li> business cycle remains more important than the election outcome.</li>
<li>on average, volatility picks up in September of election years and stays elevated through October before decelerating in November.</li>
<li>history is supportive of a quality bias in election years.</li>
</ul>
WisdomTree Senior Economist and Wharton Professor Emeritus Jeremy Siegel also expressed a preference for quality names. &#8220;Looking ahead, I see opportunity if the current resilience continues,&#8221; the economist said.
&#8220;Stocks are not cheap by historical standards, but with the fear gauge elevated and investors still largely hedging their bets, we could see a sharp move higher if sentiment turns more positive,&#8221; he added.
Siegel said quality remains the key for investors. Small caps are catching up a bit but the fundamentals of large-cap tech companies continue to drive performance, he said. &#8220;With inflation moderating and the Fed's easing cycle beginning, sectors like financials and industrials could benefit from a more favorable economic backdrop,&#8221; he added.
Early reports from banks have been solid and could set the tone for broader market gains, the economist said.

Unfazed by the stretched valuations, CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer on Monday raised the specter of further upside. 
Earnings Boost: The market isn&#8217;t overbought and therefore there is room to run, Cramer said in a post. The stock picker apparently sees earnings as one of the biggest catalysts that can propel stocks higher.

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) kickstarted the big bank earnings on Friday with a splash. The shares ended the session up over 4% after the third-quarter results came in ahead of expectations. JPMorgan&#8217;s peer Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) also reported encouraging earnings.

</ul>
Data compiled by FactSet shows cumulative earnings of S&amp;P 500 companies rising by 4.1% in the third quarter. Although a slowdown from the 11.2% growth in the second quarter, the profit growth streak will likely extend to five quarters.
Downside Risk: Cramer termed the bond market performance &#8220;horrendous,&#8221; potentially upsetting the equity market&#8217;s rhythm. &#8220;But the pesky bonds are back open tomorrow and they have been horrendous,&#8221; he said.
The bond market was closed on Monday and will reopen on Tuesday.
Bond yields have begun to tick higher, especially after the September non-farm payrolls report surprised to the upside. The upward move solidified after the consumer price inflation for September came in more than expected. 
The 10-year bond yield dipped under 3.6% in mid-September but has rallied above 4% since then, as investors unwind some of their aggressive rate-cut bets.
In an interview with CNBC, Fund Strat Head of Research Tom Lee said the unseasonable market trend showed macro data has become less important. A lot of cash that has remained on the sidelines is flowing back to the market, he said, adding that the economy has remained resilient as opposed to expectations for a recession.
When asked about the days when the market came back up from steep losses in the futures market and finished solidly higher, the strategist said skeptical investors, wary of a potential recession that never materialized, have remained under-invested in stocks. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/10/41300013/jp-morgan-and-wells-fargo-report-better-than-expected-q3-results-that-reflect-resilient-u-s-consumer">Earnings have also been resilient, </a>he added.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, rose 0.82% to $584.32 on Monday, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data, </a>marking a record closing high.

Jim Cramer Says Earnings Season Will Fuel Market's Record Run, But Warns Of This 'Horrendous' Headwind That Could Apply Brakes To Rally

Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fitb#NASDAQ">FITB</a>) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2024 results on Oct. 18 before the opening bell. Quarterly revenues are expected to have registered growth in the to-be-reported quarter, while earnings are likely to have declined on a year-over-year basis.
In the last reported quarter, the bank&#39;s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results benefited from a fall in expenses and provisions for credit losses, along with strong capital ratios. However, a decline in net interest income (NII), and lower loan and deposit balances were major headwinds.
This Cincinnati, OH-based lender has an impressive earnings surprise history. Its earnings beat estimates in the trailing four quarters, the surprise being 7.91%, on average.
<h3>Fifth Third Bancorp Price and EPS Surprise</h3>
<div class="chart_embed"><img alt="Fifth Third Bancorp Price and EPS Surprise" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/64/1728910402.png" style="height:266px; width:546px" title="" /></div>
<div class="chart_embed">Fifth Third Bancorp price-eps-surprise | Fifth Third Bancorp Quote</div>
<div class="chart_embed">Here are some factors that are expected to have impacted FITB&#39;s quarterly performance.</div>
Loans &amp; NII: On Sept. 18, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points to 4.75-5% for the first time since March 2020. While the rate cut is not expected to significantly affect FITB&#39;s NII in the quarter under review, greater clarity on the Fed&#39;s rate cut path, along with a stabilizing macroeconomic environment, is likely to have aided the lending outlook.&nbsp;
Per the Fed&#39;s latest data, lending activities continued at a decent pace in the third quarter. This is expected to have supported the company&#39;s average interest-earning assets in the third quarter of 2024.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for average interest-earning assets of $195 billion for the quarter indicates marginal growth from the prior quarter&#39;s actual. Our estimate suggests the metric to be $194.21 billion.
FITB expects third-quarter total average loans and leases to be unchanged from the second quarter&#39;s reported figure of $117.3 billion. We estimate the metric to be $117.1 billion, hinting at a marginal rise from the prior quarter&#39;s reported figure.
The company expects adjusted NII to rise 2% from the $1.39 billion reported in the second quarter of 2024. The consensus mark for NII of $1.42 billion indicates a 2.7% sequential rise. Our estimate is pegged at $1.44 billion.
Non-Interest Revenues: The stabilizing deposit balance is likely to have supported FITB&#39;s service charges on deposits. The consensus estimate for the metric of $156.4 million suggests a marginal sequential increase. Our estimate is pegged at $149.6 million.
Global mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;As) showed signs of improvement in the third quarter of 2024 after subdued performances in 2023 and 2022. Both deal value and volume were decent in the quarter, driven by a solid financial performance, higher chances of a soft landing of the U.S. economy, buoyant markets and interest rate cuts.&nbsp;
With increased M&amp;A volumes, advisory revenues are expected to have improved, positively impacting commercial banking revenues.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for commercial banking revenues is pegged at $156.1 million, indicating an 8.4% sequential increase. We project the metric to be $149.9 million.
As the central bank lowered the rates, mortgage rates started to come down. The rates declined to 6.2% by the end of the third quarter.&nbsp;
Though mortgage origination volume remained subdued in the third quarter, refinancing activities witnessed a significant surge, supported by lower mortgage rates. This is likely to have supported FITB&#39;s mortgage banking income. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the metric is pegged at $55 million, suggesting an increase of 10% from the prior quarter&#39;s reported figure. We estimate the metric to be $56.2 million.
Wealth and asset management revenues are likely to have gained from higher equity market performance in the quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for wealth and asset management revenues is pegged at $159.7 million, increasing marginally from the prior quarter&#39;s actual. Our estimate is pinned at $152.1 million.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for card and processing revenues is pegged at $108.9. million, indicating a marginal rise from the prior quarter&#39;s reported figure. Our estimate is pinned at $104.3 million.
Management expects non-interest income to rise 3-4% in the quarter to be reported, whereas it reported $717 million in the second quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for non-interest income is pegged at $735.3 million, which indicates a 5.8% rise from the prior quarter. Our model estimates the metric to be $711 million.
Expenses: The company&#39;s expense base is anticipated to have escalated due to investments aimed at operational efficiencies in technology and marketing, higher compensation and benefits expenses, and initiatives such as branch digitization and marketing expenses.&nbsp;
On a sequential basis, management expects adjusted non-interest expenses to rise 1% from the $1.2 billion reported in the second quarter. We estimate total expenses to rise 6.5% on a sequential basis to $1.3 billion.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h2>What the Zacks Model Reveals for FITB</h2>
According to our quantitative model, the chances of Fifth Third beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate this time are low. This is because it does not have the right combination of two key ingredients, a positive Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold).
Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for Fifth Third is -0.24%.
Zacks Rank: The company currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for FITB&#39;s third-quarter earnings of 82 cents per share has been unchanged in the past seven days. The figure indicates a fall of 10.9% from the year-ago reported number.
The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $2.6 billion, suggesting a rise of 0.09% from the year-ago reported figure. Management expects total revenues to increase 2-3% in the third quarter from $2.2 billion in second-quarter 2024.
<h2>Stocks That Warrant a Look</h2>
Here are some bank stocks that you may want to consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to post earnings beat this time around.
PNC Financial&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pnc#NYSE">PNC</a>) Earnings ESP is +0.89% and it carries a Zacks Rank #3 at present. The company is slated to report third-quarter 2024 results on Oct. 15.
PNC&#39;s quarterly earnings estimates have revised upward by 1.5% to $3.29 per share over the past month.
First Horizon Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fhn#NYSE">FHN</a>) has an Earnings ESP of +3.18% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present. The company is scheduled to release its third-quarter 2024 earnings on Oct. 16. &nbsp;
FHN&#39;s quarterly earnings estimates have been unchanged at 38 cents over the past month.
