NYSEShort interest in EIX plunged 30% over the past week. Sellers covered over 1.3 million shares, bringing the total short position down to 9.38 million shares as of March 31. Days to cover dropped to 2.68 from 2.77 in the prior period. This marks a sharp reversal from mid-February when short interest peaked above 13.7 million shares with a DTC of 4.02. Cost to borrow fell 16% over the week to 0.40%. Utilization sits at just 0.98%, down from a 52-week high of 4.21% hit earlier this month. The low borrow cost and utilization suggest ample shares remain available for shorting. Options sentiment also shifted. Put-call ratio dropped to 0.86 from a 20-day average of 1.28. The sharp decline pushed the PCR z-score to -2.48, indicating a significant move toward call buying relative to recent patterns. The electric utility reports earnings on April 23. Shares closed at $69.73 on April 21, down 1.2% on the day and 3.6% over the past week. The retreat in short interest comes after months of elevated bearish positioning. Whether this represents capitulation or profit-taking remains unclear. With borrow costs low and shares readily available, the path of least resistance for short sellers has eased considerably. This is not financial advice. Data may contain inaccuracies.
