Heavy Short Volume Flow
Groupon (GRPN) has emerged as a focal point for short-selling activity, with recent data indicating a 65.6% short-volume ratio. This daily flow data, derived from the FINRA Consolidated NMS short-volume files, highlights intense selling pressure in the current session. Unlike stale bi-monthly reports, this daily flow confirms that market participants are actively increasing their short exposure.
Squeeze Risk Assessment
With a short interest of 65.6% of float and a days-to-cover ratio of 11.7, GRPN is exhibiting classic signs of a potential squeeze setup. The borrow fee is currently reported at 1.1%, reflecting the cost of maintaining these positions. The high days-to-cover ratio suggests that any significant upward price movement could force a rapid covering cycle, as shorts would need nearly 12 days of average volume to exit their positions.
Key Takeaways
- GRPN shows a massive 65.6% short-volume ratio.
- Days-to-cover ratio stands at 11.7, indicating high squeeze potential.
- Short interest as a percentage of float is 65.6%.
- Borrow fees remain at 1.1% as of the latest update.
The Bottom Line
GRPN is currently one of the most heavily shorted names in the market. The combination of high short volume and a high days-to-cover ratio makes it a prime candidate for volatility.
