Extreme Borrow Costs for SLBT
Short interest in SLBT has spiked by 41% over the past week, reaching 84,492 shares. This surge in bearish positioning is accompanied by extreme friction in the securities lending market, with the cost to borrow currently sitting at a staggering 222% APR. The combination of an activist stake and weak technical indicators appears to be driving this aggressive shorting activity. While the high borrow fee acts as a significant deterrent, the continued increase in short interest suggests that bears are willing to pay a premium to maintain their positions. Traders should exercise caution, as the high cost of borrowing and low availability create a volatile environment for this ticker.
