Borrow Market Tightening for WKHS
Workhorse Group (WKHS) is currently seeing elevated borrow costs, with annualized fees reaching 27.50% as of late September 2026. This indicates that the supply of shares available for shorting is tightening, forcing short sellers to pay a premium to maintain their positions. The high borrow fee is a clear signal of active borrow stress in the securities lending market.
High Short Interest Levels
With short interest at 23.8% of the float, WKHS remains a heavily shorted name. The days-to-cover ratio of 7.6 suggests that the market is sensitive to liquidity shocks, as it would take over a week of average trading volume for short sellers to fully cover their positions. Traders should monitor the borrow fee closely, as any further increase could signal a potential squeeze setup if the stock price begins to trend upward.
