AXIA Energia SA
NYSEAXIA Energia SA saw short interest jump 43.4% over the past week, reaching 6.71 million shares as of March 31. This marks a sharp acceleration in bearish positioning. The latest settlement shows short sellers added roughly 1.4 million shares in two weeks. That's the fastest buildup since late January, when shorts peaked above 6 million shares before retreating. Days to cover now stands at 2.37. That's up from 2.03 two weeks prior. The metric measures how many days it would take shorts to exit at average trading volume. Cost to borrow has fallen sharply despite the positioning surge. CTB dropped to 1.45%, down 41% week-over-week and down 52% from a month ago. When borrowing costs decline as positions grow, it signals ample shares available to short. Utilization confirms that picture. Just 24.8% of available shares are currently on loan. That's well below the 52-week high of 90.74% hit earlier this year. The stock has struggled recently, down 4.8% over the past week to $12.78. But it's still up 21.7% over the past month in the electric utilities sector. AXIA reports next earnings on May 5. Short sellers are clearly building ahead of that event. This is not financial advice. Short interest data can be delayed and subject to reporting lags.
