Aggressive Short Positioning in HBCP
Ahead of its upcoming earnings report, HBCP has seen a massive 42% increase in short interest over the past week, now representing 3.4% of the float. This rapid buildup reflects growing bearish sentiment regarding regional banking sector headwinds.
Borrowing Costs and Availability
The cost to borrow has surged 113% over the same period, though it remains relatively low at 0.51%. Despite the sharp increase in borrow fees, availability remains high at 5,193%, indicating that while the cost of shorting is rising, there is no immediate shortage of shares available for those looking to bet against the stock.
