Bearish Momentum Following Earnings
Upstart (UPST) has become a primary target for short sellers following a lackluster Q4 earnings release earlier this week. According to Ortex, short interest has climbed to 27.8% of the free float, marking a significant reversal from the five-month lows of 24% observed on February 2.
Sustained Selling Pressure
Data indicates that short interest has increased in nearly every trading session since the earnings announcement. The consistent accumulation of short positions suggests that institutional and retail bears are betting on further downside as the company navigates its current financial challenges. With the stock deepening its selloff, the rising short interest serves as a clear indicator of negative sentiment and potential for continued downward volatility.
