Lượng vị thế ngắn của SpaceX vượt Tesla ở mức 23,6 tỷ USD

The Huoxing Finance report states that, on August 3, according to data from S3 Partners, short interest in SpaceX has continued to rise since its listing, with the current notional short position reaching approximately $23.6 billion, surpassing Tesla’s $22 billion and making SpaceX one of the most heavily shorted stocks in the U.S. market. Data shows that investors have shorted approximately 206 million shares of SpaceX, accounting for about 32.2% of the company’s publicly tradable shares. Market shorts are betting on potential downward pressure on the stock price from the upcoming post-listing quarterly earnings report and the upcoming insider lock-up expirations this week. At the time of SpaceX’s listing in June, short interest was only around 40 million shares, representing roughly 5% to 7% of publicly tradable shares. As the stock price declined sharply, short positions rapidly increased. Since its first trade on June 12, SpaceX’s market capitalization has shrunk by over $500 billion, with the stock price falling more than 50% from its intraday high. Bernstein data indicates that this week’s first lock-up expiration will allow the sale of approximately 20% to 30% of restricted insider shares. Subsequently, another 7% of total shares will be gradually released before October, followed by another wave of unlocks after the third-quarter earnings report, with further share releases expected after the final 180-day lock-up period ends. Bernstein estimates that by December, SpaceX’s publicly tradable share ratio could rise to around 40% of total shares. Analysts note that some investors are temporarily reluctant to buy SpaceX shares based on fundamentals due to ongoing lock-up expiration pressures. The market is also closely watching SpaceX’s first quarterly earnings report after listing, scheduled for release after U.S. market close on Tuesday, as investors will assess the company’s actual performance in rocket launches, Starlink, and AI initiatives through the report.
