Growing Bearish Momentum
Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) has witnessed a significant increase in short-side pressure, with the short interest as a percentage of free float climbing to 58.5%. This shift of over 8 percentage points in recent days highlights sustained conviction among bears regarding the EV manufacturer's performance.
Lending Market Tightening
As short interest has grown, share availability has continued to decline. With less than 1% of the float available for lending, the market for new short positions is becoming severely constrained, adding to the inherent volatility of the stock.
Key Takeaways
- SI % of Float: 58.5%.
- Trend: +8 percentage point increase in short interest.
- Availability: <1% of float, making it increasingly difficult for new short positions to be established.
The Bottom Line
Lucid Group is experiencing a clear and measurable increase in bearish positioning. With the float significantly shorted and availability nearly exhausted, the stock is increasingly susceptible to liquidity-driven volatility.
