As of September 2, 2026, the borrow fee for Hertz (HTZ) was reported at 5.89% per year. However, the recent window from August 3 to September 2 shows significant volatility, with fees ranging from a low of 1.01% to a high of 31.19%. The average fee over this period was 8.43% across 1,422 samples.
Lending Market Dynamics
This volatility in borrow fees suggests that the demand for shorting HTZ is not static. The presence of 150,000 shares available to borrow as of the latest update indicates that while the stock is currently shortable, the cost can spike rapidly when supply tightens. Traders should monitor these fee fluctuations as a proxy for short-selling sentiment, as sudden spikes in the cost to borrow often precede periods of increased price volatility.
