Rapid Short Buildup in AERO
Data from Ortex indicates a significant increase in bearish positioning for AERO, with short interest surging 29% over the last week to reach 941,670 shares. This rapid accumulation of short positions appears to be driven by broader weakness within the airline sector.
Borrowing Dynamics
Despite the surge in short interest, the cost to borrow has actually trended downward, currently sitting at 3.5%, compared to 4.7% last month. This suggests that while short sellers are aggressively adding to their positions, there remains sufficient liquidity in the securities lending market to accommodate the demand without triggering a fee spike at this time.
