Short sellers have flooded into SHAZ this month. The lending pool is now completely exhausted — and earnings land tomorrow.
Every share available to lend is currently out on loan. Availability has dropped to 0%, with the lending pool maxed out for eight consecutive days since May 6. Before that, availability was running at roughly 18–42% through most of April.
Short interest tells the same story. Shares short stand at 782,233 as of May 13, up 70% in one week and up 676% over the past month. The buildup is rapid and sustained — this is not noise.
Here is where the data gets interesting. Cost to borrow has fallen to 10.2%, down sharply from 12.5% on May 11. Normally, a maxed-out lending pool pushes borrow costs higher. The drop here suggests lenders may have recently repriced agreements or that some inventory reshuffling occurred — not that the squeeze has eased. Availability remains at 0%.
The ORTEX short score sits at 64.4. That is elevated, but slightly off its recent peak of 66.2 on May 11. The score has climbed from the mid-50s in late April, tracking the surge in short positioning.
SharonAI Holdings reports after the close on May 15. The timing matters. Past earnings reactions have been violent. The March 2026 print produced a +27% one-day move. The December 2025 print sent the stock down 98% in a single day before a partial recovery.
The stock is up 79% over the past month, currently trading at $55.03. Three analysts have recently initiated with Buy ratings, all with $50 targets — below where the stock now trades.
Millennium Management holds 5.4% of shares as of early April, making it the largest institutional holder in the filing data.
