Persistent Short Positioning in BB
BlackBerry Ltd (BB) remains a focal point for short sellers, with the latest data confirming 36.2 million shares held short as of the September 2026 reporting period. The 'days to cover' metric currently sits at 4.0, indicating that while the position is significant, it is not as extended as some of the more volatile biotech names in the current market environment.
Market Context
Despite the high number of shares shorted, the cost to borrow remains low at 0.3%, suggesting that there is currently ample supply of shares available for lending. This lack of borrow scarcity indicates that the current short position is likely well-supported by institutional supply and does not currently face immediate pressure from a 'hard-to-borrow' squeeze scenario. Investors should monitor this ticker for any sudden spikes in borrow fees, which would signal a tightening of supply and a potential shift in the risk profile for short sellers.
