There has been a shakeup at the top of the short interest league tables with Tesla Inc. (TSLA) dropping to third place behind Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT). APPL had regained the top spot in early December after dropping to second place behind perennial leader TSLA. MSFT short Interest has been climbing steadily since September.

Change in short interest has two components, the change in the number of shorted shares and the change in the stock’s price. The $33 billion change in total short interest was made up of a $41 billion of short covering coupled with a $8 billion increase in the stock price of the shares shorted. Short sellers were decreasing their short exposure to the market as stock prices were rising, and they were incurring mark-to-market losses.

The largest increases in short interest over the last thirty days are:

Some investors prefer to look at SI % Float as a measure of short side demand in a stock relative to its market cap. While it is difficult to compare SI % Float across different market caps it does give insight to a stocks relative short crowdedness in relation to its market structure. Looking at SI % Float and S3 SI % Float (which included the synthetic long created by every short sale in the denominator) the largest SI % Float with short interest over $25 million are:

And finally, we can look at stock borrow rates to see how crowded a shorted stock is relative to the number of shares there are left to borrow to put on new short positions. The higher the stock borrow utilization and stock borrow rates the more expensive it is to short a stock. Short sellers need strong short-side conviction to short to keep a short position open when their Alpha is getting eaten away daily, even weekends. The stocks with the highest stock borrow rates with short interest over $25 million are:
