Aggressive Shorting in Lucid Group
Lucid Group (LCID) remains 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 7-percentage-point increase over the recent period, signaling that bearish sentiment is intensifying despite the stock already having declined 50% over the past three months.
Lending Market Dynamics
The cost to borrow (CTB) for LCID currently sits at 15.6% APR. This elevated fee reflects the difficulty and expense associated with maintaining short positions in the name. As short interest continues to climb, the market is closely watching for potential squeeze triggers, though the current trend remains firmly in favor of the bears. Investors should note that these figures are based on near-real-time estimates from Ortex, which provide a more current view than the stale, twice-monthly official FINRA reports.
