High Short Interest Levels
Core Scientific has joined the list of heavily shorted AI and data center-related stocks, with ORTEX data showing short interest at 23.1% of its free float. The company has been a primary target for short sellers throughout October, resulting in approximately $115 million in paper profits for those holding short positions.
Market Sentiment
As part of the broader sector selloff, Core Scientific's elevated short interest reflects investor caution regarding the company's role in the AI infrastructure boom. With borrowing costs remaining low, the high short interest suggests that institutional investors are maintaining their bearish outlook despite the volatility in the sector.
