Short Interest Surge
MiniMed Group has emerged as a primary target for short sellers this week, with short interest as a percentage of free float skyrocketing to 99%, up from 77% just seven days ago. This 22-point swing indicates a massive increase in bearish conviction. According to Ortex data, the cost to borrow has climbed to 14.6% APR, reflecting the increasing difficulty for shorts to maintain their positions.
Squeeze Dynamics
The supply of shares available to borrow has effectively evaporated, currently sitting at just 0.4% of total short interest. With a short score of 92, the stock is exhibiting classic signs of a potential short squeeze. Any positive catalyst could trigger a rapid covering event, given the lack of liquidity in the lending market. Investors should monitor the stock for high volatility as the supply-demand imbalance reaches a critical threshold.
