Borrow Fee Volatility
While WLDN's cost-to-borrow (CTB) has surged 208% over the last seven days to 0.48%, the fee remains near historic lows. Despite the sharp percentage increase, Ortex data indicates that availability remains high at 649%, suggesting that there is still ample supply for those looking to borrow shares.
Analysis
Short interest currently sits at 11.5% of the float. While the jump in CTB is notable, the high availability suggests that the current borrowing environment is not yet constrained. Investors should watch for further fee increases or a decline in availability as indicators of a more significant shift in short-side sentiment.
