Lending Market Tightening
AFYA (AFYA) is experiencing a sharp increase in the cost of borrowing shares, with rates surging to 6.2% APR. This represents a 129% increase in borrow costs over the past seven days.
Market Context
Interestingly, this cost spike is occurring alongside a collapse in total short interest. This divergence often suggests that while the aggregate number of shares shorted is decreasing, the remaining short sellers are facing a significantly more expensive and difficult environment to maintain their positions. The tightening of share availability is a key metric to watch, as it often precedes further volatility in the stock price.
