Lyft (LYFT) remains a heavily shorted name in the ride-sharing sector. As of October 27, 2026, Ortex estimates short interest at 23.34% of the free float. The days-to-cover ratio stands at 8.3, suggesting that it would take over a week of average trading volume for short sellers to exit their positions. While the average cost to borrow remains relatively low at 0.47%, the high percentage of float held short indicates a persistent bearish sentiment among institutional and retail traders. Investors should monitor this level closely as the stock trades within its 52-week range of $12.46 to $25.54.
