Borrow Fee Spike
WLDN is experiencing a notable increase in the cost to borrow (CTB) shares, with fees jumping 208% over the past week to 0.48%. While this rate remains low in historical terms, the rapid percentage increase indicates a sudden uptick in demand from short sellers looking to establish or increase positions in the stock.
Market Dynamics
Despite the spike in borrow fees, current data shows that availability remains high at 649%, suggesting that there is no immediate supply-side constraint. The current short interest stands at 11.5% of the float. The divergence between the rising cost to borrow and the ample supply of shares suggests that while short interest is growing, the market is not yet facing a liquidity squeeze.
Key Takeaways
- WLDN borrow costs rose 208% in one week.
- Current borrow fee is 0.48%.
- Short interest is at 11.5% of float with high share availability.
The Bottom Line
While WLDN is seeing a sharp increase in the cost to borrow, the high availability of shares suggests that short sellers are not yet facing a supply-side squeeze.
