JLHL (Julong Holding Limited) has gained 129% in a week. The lending market is tightening rapidly behind that move.
Availability stood at 184% on May 19. By June 5 it had fallen to just 11.9%. That means roughly one share remains available to borrow for every eight already lent out.
The 52-week minimum hit 0% — every share in the pool was lent out at the tightest point this year. The current reading is barely above that floor.
The drop happened fast. Availability fell 81% in a single week. That pace of tightening reflects intense demand for borrows against a stock moving violently higher.
Borrowing JLHL currently costs 177% APR. The rate peaked at 224% on June 3. It has stayed above 100% every single day since early May.
One month ago the cost to borrow was around 107%. It is now 65% higher than that. Maintaining a short position here carries a steep daily carry cost.
The ORTEX short score sits at 62.5. The utilization rank is in the 7th percentile — meaning the borrow market for this stock is tighter than 93% of comparable names tracked by ORTEX.
One holder dominates the register. Hushi Holding Limited controls 93.2% of shares, as of March 2026. That leaves very little stock in the freely tradeable float.
Short positions — roughly 26,400 shares as of June 5 — are being squeezed against a tiny available pool. The days-to-cover figure is just 1.0, but that calculation is based on the official FINRA fortnightly data from May 15.
Short interest itself has climbed sharply over one month — up 452% since early May — though it remains a small absolute number given the float constraints.
Availability is the key metric. At 11.9% it is already very tight. A further move toward 0% — reached on at least one occasion this year — would push cost to borrow higher still and intensify pressure on any remaining short positions.
