Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on DFS Options

According to the largest provider of private-label credit cards in the U.S., consumers — pressured by years of persistent inflation — are reducing spending as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44475192/consumer-confidence-falls-to-lowest-since-2022-as-inflation-tariff-worries-grow">economic outlook worsens</a>.
What To Know: Synchrony Financial's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYF#NYSE">SYF</a>) chief credit officer Max Axler told Reuters that while most borrowers continue repaying loans, spending has dipped across income levels. 
&#8220;Purchase volumes have gone down across the industry as consumers across all income groups become more thoughtful about spending,&#8221; Axler said.

The latest data released by the Consumer Confidence Board on Tuesday showed that pessimism about the economic future is gripping American consumers. The Consumer Confidence Index fell 7.2 points in March to 92.9, its fourth consecutive monthly decline and the lowest reading since late 2022. 
According to recent Federal Reserve data, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/03/44439342/are-us-consumers-starting-to-crack-pessimism-loan-defaults-bargain-hunting-rise">delinquencies</a> on auto loans, credit cards, and home credit lines have increased, and economists warn that President Donald Trump's tariffs may exacerbate price pressures. 
Consumers may soon face additional financial strain as student loan servicers resume reporting delinquencies to credit bureaus. The process, which began in mid-February 2025, could worsen already stretched household finances.
&#8220;For the first time in five years, federal student loan delinquencies will start to reappear on credit files, and we expect a lot of consumers to be stretched due to this,&#8221; Rikard Bandebo, chief economist at VantageScore, told Reuters. 
&#8220;We expect delinquencies to go up as a result of it at a time when consumer debt is already high,&#8221; Bandebo added.
Concerns about consumer strength have also weighed on financial stocks. Shares of Discover Financial Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>) have shed nearly 10% over the past month, and Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) are down 6% over the same period.
The SPDR Select Financial Sector Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>), which holds 73 large-cap financial stocks, has dipped 1% over the past 30 days on broad consumer spending concerns.&nbsp;

Major Credit Card Provider Warns US Consumers Are Spending Less

<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.

Shares of several banking and broader financial stocks are trading higher in sympathy with overall market sentiment after the Fed policy decision to keep rates unchanged.

Discover Financial Services Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>) shares are trading lower Monday as concerns over antitrust scrutiny weighed on the company&#8217;s proposed merger with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44353947/trumps-cfpb-overhaul-leaves-consumers-exposed-heres-what-it-means-for-your-money">Capital One Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>). </a>
What To Know: The drop followed reports the U.S. Department of Justice is reviewing the $35.3 billion all-stock acquisition over potential anti-competitive risks, particularly in the subprime lending sector.
According to<a href="https://za.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/discover-and-capital-one-stocks-tumble-amid-antitrust-concerns-93CH-3611620"> Investing.com</a>, Capital Forum reported that DOJ staff may oppose the deal, raising concerns that it could limit competition for subprime borrowers. 
A Bloomberg Intelligence analyst noted that while regulatory opposition does not necessarily mean the deal will be blocked, the DOJ's stance could create significant hurdles. 
Capital One defended the acquisition, stating the deal complies with the Bank Merger Act's legal requirements and remains well-positioned for approval.
The merger, if completed, would strengthen the companies&#8217; ability to compete against Mastercard, Visa and American Express. However, the heightened regulatory scrutiny has cast uncertainty over its approval, leading to a selloff in both stocks.
DFS Price Action: Discover Financial Services shares closed down 6.86% at $152.99 at publication Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>
