Bears Pressing Bets on Upstart
Following a disappointing Q4 earnings release, Upstart (UPST) has become a primary target for short sellers. Ortex data indicates that short interest has risen to 27.8% of the free float, marking a steady climb from five-month lows of 24% recorded earlier in February. The consistent daily increase in short positioning suggests that institutional investors are aggressively betting against the company's near-term recovery prospects. Traders should monitor the borrow fee and utilization rates closely, as the deepening selloff continues to attract new short volume.
