The consumer goods giant has seen steady increases in bearish positioning. Short interest climbed 15.1% over the past month, rising from 23.4 million shares. The trend began accelerating in mid-January, when shorts totaled just 18.9 million shares. Cost to borrow remains low at 0.36%, down 11.1% week-over-week and 29.5% over the past month.
