Entergy Corporation
NYSEShort interest in ETR jumped 42% over the past week, reaching 16.8 million shares as of March 31. The surge marks a sharp reversal for the Louisiana-based utility operator. Days to cover now stands at 5.04. This measures how long it would take short sellers to close positions based on average trading volume. The increase reflects both rising short positions and modest trading activity in the stock. Short interest climbed 45% over the past month. Entergy shares fell 3.7% last week but remain up 11.4% over the past month, closing at $111.24 on April 21. Cost to borrow ticked down 3.4% week-over-week to 0.48% APR. The modest borrowing cost suggests shorting remains relatively accessible. Utilization sits at just 6.04%, well below the 52-week high of 17.8%. Options traders show bullish positioning. The put/call ratio dropped to 0.26, the lowest level since late February. The ratio sits 1.25 standard deviations below its 20-day average, signaling heavy call buying relative to puts. Entergy reports earnings on April 29. The electric utility serves 3 million customers across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The sharp rise in short interest despite a strong month for the stock suggests bears anticipate weakness ahead. Whether they're positioned for an earnings disappointment or broader sector headwinds remains unclear. This is not financial advice. ORTEX data may contain errors.
