Rising Costs for WLDN Shorts
While still near historic lows, the cost to borrow WLDN shares has jumped 208% over the past week to 0.48%. This sharp percentage increase, despite the low absolute level, highlights a sudden shift in the lending market dynamics for the stock. Short interest currently sits at 11.5% of the float.
Market Analysis
Despite the fee spike, availability remains high at 649%, suggesting that there is still ample supply for those looking to initiate or maintain short positions. The jump in fees may be a reaction to increased demand or a temporary reduction in lendable inventory, but it does not yet signal a full-blown supply squeeze.
Key Takeaways
- Cost to borrow increased 208% in one week.
- Current borrow fee is 0.48%.
- Short interest is 11.5% of float with high availability.
The Bottom Line
While WLDN's borrow costs have spiked significantly, the high availability of shares suggests that the short side is not yet facing a supply-driven squeeze.
