Borrow Market Alert
FEBP has been flagged for a notable borrow fee of 8%, signaling increased demand from short sellers to borrow shares. This elevated cost is a key indicator of tightening supply in the securities lending market. When borrow fees spike, it often reflects a high conviction among short sellers or a scarcity of available shares to borrow, which can lead to increased volatility.
Daily Short Volume Context
In addition to the high borrow fee, the stock has seen 100% short volume in recent sessions, according to data from The Desk. While this figure represents daily trading flow rather than open short interest, the combination of high short volume and rising borrow costs is a classic signal that market participants are actively increasing their bearish exposure. Investors should monitor the borrow availability closely, as a further collapse in supply could lead to a rapid increase in borrowing costs.
