S3 Analytics: Tesla Down 7% on Long Selling Not Short Selling

by S3 Partners March 1, 2019March 1, 2019

written by S3 Partners

Tesla Inc (TSLA) stock is down 7% this morning on a slew of new initiatives put out by CEO Elon Musk including a $35,000 Model 3 and closing most of its 100+ dealerships and selling cars solely online. But the most important line in the conference call may have been Musk stating that “we do not expect to be profitable in Q1 ….. profitability in Q2 is likely.”

S3 Analytics: Tesla Update

by S3 Partners January 30, 2019

written by S3 Partners

Tesla short interest is $7.28 billion; 24.47 million shares short; 19.48% of its float; stock borrow cost is 30 bp fee (general collateral.)

Tesla is reporting earnings tonight and although shorts have covered 847k of their exposure over the last week, short side trading over the last several days have been relatively quiet with just 240k of short covering since Monday. It looks like short sellers are standing pat at the moment and not increasing or decreasing their exposure before tonight’s news.
