Significant Short Position in LYFT
Lyft, Inc. (LYFT) is currently seeing substantial short interest, with 68.5 million shares sold short, representing 18.11% of its shares outstanding. This level of short interest places the stock in a 'Medium' squeeze risk category according to recent market analysis.
Borrowing and Liquidity
As of September 17, 2026, the cost to borrow LYFT is 0.3% annualized, which is considered general-collateral cheap. There is a workable supply of 3.2 million shares available to borrow. The 'Days to Cover' ratio is 7.4, which is relatively high, suggesting that a significant move in the stock price could lead to a challenging covering environment for short sellers. No active 'At-the-Market' (ATM) programs have been indicated in recent SEC filings, which may limit potential dilution in the near term.
