Tightening Lending Market for Pentair
Pentair plc (PNR) has experienced a significant tightening in its securities lending market. The cost to borrow has surged to 0.98%, marking a 143% increase in just one week. This move coincides with a notable shift in share availability, as the market reacts to changing supply-demand dynamics for the stock.
Implications for Short Sellers
While the absolute borrow rate remains relatively low compared to high-squeeze candidates, the rapid percentage increase in costs is a signal that the lending market is becoming less accommodating. Investors should watch for further declines in share availability, which could lead to additional upward pressure on borrow fees if short interest remains elevated.
