Current Short Position
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) currently has 92.1 million shares held short. Despite the massive scale of the company, the short interest remains relatively stable, with a days-to-cover ratio of 2.7. The borrow fee is currently 0.3%, indicating that the stock remains easy to borrow for institutional and retail short sellers alike.
Market Context
Amazon's short interest is often used as a proxy for broader market sentiment regarding the retail and cloud computing sectors. While the absolute number of shares short is high, it represents a small fraction of the total float, consistent with the company's status as a mega-cap stock. The low borrow fee suggests that there is no immediate supply constraint for those looking to take a bearish position on the stock.
