The cost to borrow shares of Afya Limited (AFYA) has surged to 6.2%, representing a 129% increase over the past week. While this spike in borrow fees coincides with a collapse in total short interest, the dramatic rise in the cost of capital for short sellers indicates that the lending market for AFYA shares has tightened significantly. Traders should be aware that even as short interest fluctuates, the increased cost to maintain short positions can create pressure on existing shorts to cover, potentially impacting price action.
