As of September 17, 2026, Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ) maintains a cost-to-borrow (CTB) fee of 3.73% according to data sourced from Interactive Brokers. With 850,000 shares currently available for lending, the stock does not currently exhibit the extreme scarcity often associated with a short squeeze. The borrow fee represents the annualized interest rate paid by short sellers to borrow shares. While 3.73% is a standard rate for many liquid equities, any sudden contraction in the available share pool or a spike in the fee would be a primary indicator of increased demand from short sellers. We continue to track these lending metrics as a proxy for institutional sentiment.
