Persistent Short Interest in LCID
Lucid Group (LCID) remains one of the most heavily shorted stocks in the electric vehicle sector, with short interest currently standing at 32.7% of the float. Despite the high level of bearish positioning, the borrow fee remains at a relatively manageable 6.39%, suggesting that while the position size is large, the supply of lendable shares has not yet reached a critical breaking point.
Market Implications
With a days-to-cover ratio of 6.2, LCID is a stock that requires significant liquidity for short sellers to exit. The high short interest makes the stock prone to volatility, particularly during periods of market-wide sector rotation. Investors should keep a close eye on the borrow fee; a sudden spike would be a primary indicator that the lending market is tightening and that the risk of a short squeeze is increasing.
