High Short Interest in CPNG
Coupang (CPNG) has emerged as a primary target for short sellers, with current estimates placing short interest at 53.2% of the available float. This level of short positioning is significantly higher than the market average, indicating that institutional investors are maintaining a substantial bearish stance on the e-commerce giant.
Analyzing the Flow
While daily short volume (the flow of shares marked short) provides a snapshot of intraday pressure, the 53.2% figure represents the aggregate open position. This suggests that the bearish thesis is not just a day-trading phenomenon but a long-term strategic bet. Market participants should watch for any divergence between price action and borrow costs, as a spike in the cost-to-borrow would be a clear signal that the supply of lendable shares is becoming constrained, potentially setting the stage for a squeeze.
