Borrowing Scarcity at EVCM
As EVCM approaches its earnings date, the stock is witnessing a significant tightening in the securities lending market. Utilization of lendable shares has reached 98.49%, just shy of the 52-week peak of 100%. Simultaneously, share availability has collapsed to 1.65% of total short interest.
Earnings Volatility Risk
This level of utilization suggests that the market is bracing for significant volatility. With almost no shares left to borrow, any positive earnings surprise could trigger a violent short squeeze. Traders should be aware that the cost to borrow is likely to spike if demand for short positions persists through the earnings announcement.
