Bearish Pressure on PAGS

PagSeguro (PAGS) experienced a sharp sell-off on October 27, falling 25% as bearish sentiment intensified. ORTEX data confirms that short positions surged by 23% in a single day. The move was catalyzed by a Citigroup downgrade to Neutral, which coincided with heavy insider selling and a record put-call ratio. This rapid accumulation of short positions suggests institutional investors are positioning for further downside in the Brazilian fintech space.
