Elevated Short Interest
BYND T continues to be a focal point for short sellers, with current data showing short interest at 30.7% of the float. This high level of open interest, combined with a borrow fee of 43.76%, suggests that institutional and retail shorts are maintaining significant conviction in their bearish thesis despite the high cost of carry.
Borrow Market Dynamics
The borrow fee of 43.76% indicates that shares are becoming increasingly difficult to source. As utilization remains high, the cost to maintain these positions is putting pressure on short sellers to justify their thesis against the backdrop of potential volatility. The squeeze score of 21 suggests that while the stock is not at the absolute top of the squeeze list, it remains a volatile name that could react sharply to any unexpected news.
Key Takeaways
- Short interest stands at 30.7% of the float.
- Annualized borrow fee is currently 43.76%.
- Squeeze score of 21 indicates moderate to high volatility risk.
- High utilization of lendable shares is driving up borrowing costs.
The Bottom Line
With over 30% of its float sold short, BYND T remains a battleground stock. The high borrow fee reflects the ongoing struggle between short sellers and the available supply of shares.
