Lending Market Alert: EVCM
EVCM is currently experiencing a severe squeeze on lendable supply. Ortex data indicates that short interest utilization has reached 98.49%, just shy of the 52-week peak of 100%. This extreme level of utilization suggests that the market for borrowing shares is nearly exhausted.
Implications for Traders
With availability collapsing to just 1.65% of short interest, the cost to maintain short positions is likely to face upward pressure. This environment is often a precursor to volatility, especially ahead of earnings announcements. Traders should be aware that the lack of available shares to borrow can lead to sudden spikes in borrow fees and potential forced buy-ins if the stock price moves against the short sellers.
