Lucid Group (LCID) continues to be a primary target for short sellers, with recent data indicating that short interest has surged to 66% of the company's free float. This represents a significant 7-percentage-point increase over the recent period, signaling that bearish sentiment is not only persistent but growing. According to Ortex, the cost to borrow (CTB) for LCID shares currently sits at 15.6% APR. Despite the stock having declined 50% over the past three months, the influx of fresh short positions suggests that market participants remain unconvinced of a near-term recovery. This high level of short interest, combined with the elevated borrow cost, highlights a crowded trade that remains highly sensitive to any positive catalysts.
