Short Report: Short interest in Clear Secure hits record high
Welcome to this week's installment of 'The Short Interest Report' – The Fly's weekly recap of short interest trends among some of the most widely followed high-short-float stocks. Using the data from our partner which utilizes the latest information from stock lenders to estimate short interest changes for thousands of publicly traded companies, this report will screen for some of biggest changes in short interest as a percentage of free float and days-to-cover ratios while also considering the short interest data on some of the more volatile and heavier-traded names of the week. Based on the availability of data from Ortex, the report tracks the trading period that covers prior Friday through Thursday of this week, excluding holidays. As a basis of comparison for stocks discussed below, the S&P 500 index was up 0.5%, the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.6%, the Russell 2000 index was up 1.2%, the Russell 2000 Growth ETF (IWO) was up 2.0%, and the Russell 2000 Value ETF (IWN) was up 0.3% in the five-day trading session range through June 5. Confident Investing Starts Here: SHORT INTEREST GAINERS Ortex-reported short interest in Hims & Hers (HIMS) hit a record high of 37.6% in the first week of May as bears questioned the rebound in shares over the prior two weeks. With the sharp bounce persisting into mid-May – the stock ended up more than doubling from mid-April to May 14 peak – shorts then reduced their exposure to just north of 30%. This week however, bearish appetite in this volatile name has resurfaced. Shorts as a percentage of free float rose from 30.7% to 33.6% and days-to-cover was up from 1.2 to 1.6 even though trading volumes remained steady. The stock was up less than 1% in the five-day period covered through Thursday, but inclusive of Friday's 6.8% jump, shares are now up 133% year-to-date. Ortex-reported short interest in Clear Secure (YOU) had tracked sideways in a 20.5%-23.5% range from mid-February through the final week of April, though bearish appetite has picked up notably through May and into June even though the stock has traded without much conviction on either side. In the five-day period covered, shorts as a percentage of free float rose from 27.2% to 29.3% – a record high, while days-to-cover reached a three-month high with a 90 basis point advance to 6.5 amid thinner volume. Shares were up 6.8% in the five-day period covered, though year-to-date, Clear Secure shares are still down about 2%. Ortex-reported short interest in Designer Brands (DBI) troughed around 23% in the final week of April but has since shot higher in spite of the bounce in the stock price. This week, shorts as a percentage of free float jumped from 27.7% to 32.2% – the highest level in nearly five months. Likewise, despite the steady levels of trading volume, days-to-cover on the name also shifted notably, rising from 4.9 to 8.4. Ahead of Designer Brands' Q1 results on deck for next week, over the five-day period covered through Thursday, the stock rose 1.1% and relative to its April lows, shares are up 57% – inclusive of Friday's 5% gain. Year-to-date, the stock is still down 28.5%. Ortex-reported short interest in Gogo (GOGO) had started its collapse from high-altitude levels above 30% to less than 27% in mid-March when the company disclosed a Supplemental Type Certificate FAA approval for its tail mount terminal for Gulfstream aircraft, sending its stock higher by 25% within a week. Bearish positioning was then dealt a blow in early May when the company's Q1 results and affirmed guidance also featured the disclosure of a PMA – Parts Manufacturer Approval – for its Galileo FDX antenna, sending short interest down to fresh seven-month lows below 26%. This week, short-covering momentum continued, with shorts as a percentage of free float falling another two and a half points 21.8% – the lowest level since late October. Meanwhile, the stock picked up about 3% in the five-day period covered this week and also has now registered a 37% gain year-to-date. Last week, Ortex-reported short interest in AST SpaceMobile (ASTS) reached the highest level since late March of around 30%. This week however, shorts as a percentage of free float shrunk to 25.5%, while the stock staged a steep 30% jump in the five-day period covered. Driving short-sellers to the exits was an Instagram post by AST SpaceMobile board member Adriana Cisneros titled 'Amazing things are happening at AST & Science + @blueorigin', which has elevated speculation that Amazon's Jeff Bezos might become an ASTS investor. Year-to-date, AST SpaceMobile shares are now up about 48%.
