Growing Bearish Sentiment
Data from Ortex indicates a sharp increase in short interest for SEPN, with the current level reaching 15.3% of the free float. This near-real-time estimate highlights a growing conviction among short sellers, diverging from the stale, twice-monthly official exchange reports that often lag by over a week.
Analyzing the Squeeze Risk
With short interest at 15.3%, the stock is entering a territory where squeeze risk becomes a primary consideration for risk desks. High short interest, when combined with limited borrow availability, often creates a volatile environment. Traders should monitor the cost-to-borrow and utilization rates closely, as these metrics will provide the next signal on whether this position is being aggressively defended or if a covering event is imminent.
