Stable Short Positioning
Arcos Dorados Holdings (ARCO) exhibits a stable short interest profile, with 2.8 million shares currently held short. The data indicates minimal change in the short position over recent weeks, suggesting that the bearish thesis on the stock is not currently seeing significant new capital inflows. The days-to-cover ratio stands at 2.9, which is relatively low, implying that the current short positions could be covered with less than three days of average trading volume.
Low Borrow Costs
The borrow fee for ARCO is currently 0.4%, reflecting a very liquid lending market with ample supply of shares available for short sellers. This low cost of carry suggests that there is little pressure on existing short positions from a lending perspective. Investors should monitor this ticker for any sudden spikes in borrow fees or volume, which would indicate a shift in market sentiment or a potential squeeze setup.
