Beyond Meat (NASDAQ: BYND) is currently experiencing intense pressure in the securities lending market. As of September 3, 2026, at 1:49 PM EDT, the cost-to-borrow (CTB) fee for BYND shares has reached 36.92%. Data sourced from Interactive Brokers indicates that only 100,000 shares remain available for shorting. This elevated borrow fee is a clear indicator of scarcity in the lending market, suggesting that short sellers are aggressively competing for a limited supply of borrowable shares. Investors should note that this data reflects the Interactive Brokers platform specifically and may not represent the entire market, but it serves as a high-frequency signal of increasing bearish sentiment and potential squeeze risk.
