WhiteHawk Minerals Corp. (WHK) is entering its Q3 earnings report with a notable shift in market positioning. Data from Ortex reveals that short interest has climbed by 270% over the past six weeks. Despite this surge in bearish bets, the lending market remains relatively loose, with borrow costs dropping from over 7% in early October to 4.4% currently. Availability remains high, with lenders holding roughly two shares for every one borrowed, suggesting that while the short position is growing, a near-term squeeze is not currently the primary risk. The market is now looking to see if the company's production trajectory can justify the recent institutional buying that followed its Russell 2000 inclusion.
