IDXX Lending Market Tightening
IDEXX Laboratories (IDXX) is seeing increased pressure in the securities lending market. Ortex reports that the cost to borrow IDXX shares has surged 109% over the past week to 0.55%. This increase is attributed to tightening share availability for short sellers. While the absolute borrow fee remains relatively low compared to high-conviction short targets, the rapid percentage increase suggests that market participants are finding it progressively more difficult to source shares for shorting, which could lead to further volatility if demand persists.
