WGS is experiencing significant lending market volatility, with the cost to borrow shares doubling to 0.43%—a 102% increase over the past week. This spike in borrow fees is a classic indicator of tightening supply in the securities lending market, often associated with increased short-selling conviction or a defensive move by lenders. Ortex data flags this as a sign of mounting short squeeze pressure. Investors should monitor the utilization rate closely, as a further decline in available shares to borrow could lead to additional upward pressure on fees.
