Bearish Momentum in Figma
Figma (FIG) is experiencing a notable increase in short selling activity. According to Ortex, short interest as a percentage of free float has surged by five percentage points to 30.8%. This follows a period of gradual accumulation that began in February, culminating in this record-high level of open short positions.
Liquidity and Squeeze Risk
The days-to-cover ratio has also reached a record high of 4.2, up from 3.3. This rise in the face of increased trading volume following the company's Q1 results indicates that institutional shorts are aggressively adding to their positions, potentially setting the stage for heightened volatility.
Key Takeaways
- Short interest as a percentage of float hit 30.8%.
- Days-to-cover reached a record high of 4.2.
- Bearish sentiment has been building steadily since February.
The Bottom Line
Figma's record-high short interest and rising days-to-cover suggest that the market is increasingly skeptical of the company's current valuation, creating a high-stakes environment for investors.
