WGS is currently experiencing heightened short-selling pressure, evidenced by a dramatic 102% increase in the cost-to-borrow (CTB) over the past week, reaching 0.43%. This rapid escalation in borrowing costs is a classic indicator of a tightening securities lending market, often preceding or accompanying short squeeze conditions. Analysts tracking the name should be aware that the cost to maintain short positions is rising sharply, which may force some participants to cover if the trend continues.
