Rising Cost of Carry
WKHS T has seen its borrow fee climb to 27.50%, reflecting a tightening supply of lendable shares. With short interest currently at 23.8% of the float, the stock remains a high-conviction target for short sellers, though the rising cost of maintaining these positions is becoming a notable factor for traders.
Market Sentiment
The squeeze score of 19 suggests that while the stock is heavily shorted, the immediate risk of a massive, forced-covering squeeze is lower than in higher-ranked names. However, the days-to-cover ratio of 7.6 indicates that it would take over a week of average trading volume for shorts to fully exit their positions, which could exacerbate price swings during periods of high volatility.
Key Takeaways
- Borrow fee has reached 27.50%.
- Short interest is significant at 23.8% of float.
- Days-to-cover ratio of 7.6 suggests potential for extended volatility.
- Squeeze score of 19 indicates moderate risk.
The Bottom Line
WKHS T remains a heavily shorted name where the cost of borrowing is rising. Investors should watch for any changes in borrow availability that could further squeeze existing short positions.
