Borrow Market Tightening
AFYA (AFYA) has seen its cost to borrow (CTB) surge to 6.2%, marking a 129% increase over the past week. This rapid escalation in borrowing costs suggests that the supply of shares available for shorting is tightening significantly.
Divergent Signals
Interestingly, this cost spike is occurring alongside a collapse in short interest. This divergence often indicates that existing short sellers are exiting their positions, potentially creating a supply-demand imbalance in the lending market. Investors should monitor whether this trend continues as the cost of maintaining a short position becomes increasingly expensive.
