Tesla Short Position Now 4th Largest, Trails NVDA, MSFT, AAPL

GuruFocus.com04-01

April 1 - Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) short positions rebounded to 81 million shares, with bearish traders generating $10 billion year?to?date, according to data from S3 Partners.

Tesla's stock has declined roughly 32% this year amid shrinking sales and intensified competition. The downturn has been compounded by mounting backlash linked to CEO Elon Musk's controversial political involvement.

S3 Partners noted that short interest as a percentage of float surged by about 20% after lingering at an all?time low of 2% just last month. Its short position now ranks as the fourth largest among peers, trailing Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL).

Tesla is set to report its first?quarter delivery numbers next week. Analysts forecast an 8.5% year?on?year decline, expecting deliveries to reach around 377,000 vehicles.

The growing bearish sentiment reflects investor concerns amid intense market competition and supply chain challenges. Analysts caution that unless Tesla reverses its delivery trends, further pressure on the stock may intensify.
