Lending Market Liquidity Dries Up for EVCM
Data from Ortex indicates that EVCM is experiencing extreme tightness in the securities lending market. As of the latest reporting, utilization has reached 98.49%, hovering just below the 52-week peak of 100%. This indicates that almost all available shares for lending have been exhausted.
Borrow Availability Collapse
Compounding the issue, borrow availability has plummeted to a mere 1.65% of total short interest. This scarcity of lendable shares often precedes significant volatility, as short sellers struggle to maintain or open new positions. The market is clearly bracing for upcoming earnings, with the lack of supply creating a precarious setup for existing short positions.
Key Takeaways
- Utilization rate is at 98.49%, near the 52-week high.
- Borrow availability has collapsed to 1.65% of short interest.
- The stock is showing signs of extreme lending market stress ahead of earnings.
The Bottom Line
With utilization near 100% and borrow availability nearly non-existent, EVCM is exhibiting classic signs of a potential squeeze setup driven by supply-side constraints.
