Lending Market Alert: PNR
Pentair (PNR) is seeing a sharp increase in borrowing costs, with the rate rising to 0.98%—a 143% increase over the past week.
Supply Constraints
Despite the cost increase, share availability remains high, with shares available to short hitting their highest level in months at 3,084% of short interest. This divergence between rising borrow costs and high availability suggests that while the cost of capital for short sellers is increasing, the market is not yet facing a supply-side squeeze. However, the rapid rate of change in the borrow fee is a signal that the lending market is tightening, and traders should watch for further shifts in availability that could impact the cost of maintaining short positions.
