Data from analytics company Ortex on Tuesday suggested that short sellers had started taking bets against the stock with slightly more than 5 million shares of the newly listed chip designer 'on loan,' or 2.7% of the stock's free float. Short sellers need to borrow a stock to short it, and the relationship between shares on loan and shorted is normally quite close, according to Ortex. Initially with a new stock 'there is often a lot of data missing, so there is a reasonable expectation that the real number is higher,' Ortex co-founder Peter Hillerberg said in an email.
- Shares in Arm Holdings were down 6.1% on Tuesday, on track for their third decline out of the stock's first four sessions as a listed company as investor interest faded in the biggest initial public offering for the year so far.
