Rapid Growth in Short Positions
WhiteHawk Minerals Corp. (WHK) has seen its short interest rise by approximately 270% since early October. While this represents a significant percentage increase, it is important to note that the jump reflects a move from a very low base. Absolute short interest remains modest at roughly 942,000 shares.
Borrowing Conditions
Borrowing conditions for WHK remain relaxed, suggesting that a near-term short squeeze is unlikely. The borrow cost has actually eased, dropping from over 7% in early October to 4.4% currently. With availability at 217% of short interest, lenders hold more than two shares for every one borrowed, providing ample supply for short sellers. The Ortex short score remains at a middling 55, indicating cautious positioning rather than aggressive conviction.
