Just finished reading the S3 Partners report.
These past few days, the long-versus-short battle involving
$SPCX has been extremely intense.
The short sellers (air force) began accumulating 23.3 million shares on June 16, then surged to 219.3 million shares—about 34% of the float.
Nominal short position: approximately $24.6 billion.
Borrowing costs and utilization rate: roughly 1.37% in the early listing period, fell to 0.51% by the end of June, then rebounded to an average of 2–3% (new borrowings close to 4%), with utilization as high as 95%.
You could say that right from the beginning of the listing, major institutions started borrowing shares to short.
$SPCX became their favorite target for shorting.
The position changes coincide with the company’s first earnings report on August 4 and the end of the first lock-up period on August 6, when up to about 911 million shares could be released.
The market is unfolding an intense long-versus-short game. The shorts are betting on supply shocks and a reversion in valuation, while the longs believe in Starlink and the long-term growth outlook.
On one side, institutions are shorting; on the other, retail investors have been aggressively buying. Rating agencies have raised their target prices—it's a full-on mixed battle.
The shorts haven’t disappeared. As more locked shares are released, this fight will only become more intense.
