Apple and Microsoft Lead in Short Interest

Latest figures reveal that Tesla’s short interest has declined, with around $18.51 billion in shares bet against the company. This positions Tesla just below Apple’s $18.63 billion and Microsoft’s $18.61 billion in short interest, indicating a narrower gap among these top shorted stocks.

Tesla Still a Target for Short-Sellers

Despite this change, Tesla continues to be a prime target within its category, known as the “Magnificent 7,” which comprises mega-cap firms with significant influence on major stock indices. In this group, Tesla’s 3.06% short interest stands out, even though companies like General Motors exhibit a higher percentage of their shares sold short, at 8.17%.

The “Magnificent 7,” a term coined to describe influential market movers, includes tech and innovation-driven companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, NVIDIA, Tesla, and Meta. Their considerable weight in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 often sways overall market performance.

Within this elite circle, other members also experience significant short-selling activity. NVIDIA, Amazon, and Meta have seen $14.26 billion, $11.79 billion, and $11.47 billion in their shares shorted, respectively. Alphabet, outside the top 10, has garnered $6.28 billion in short interest.

Historically, Tesla has drawn considerable short-seller interest, yet these positions have largely resulted in substantial losses. In the previous year, those betting against Tesla lost $12.5 billion, with an average loss of 64.64% against the year’s average short interest. Cumulatively, Tesla short-sellers have incurred around $61.9 billion in losses since 2010, a sum exceeding the market capitalizations of automotive giants like Ford and General Motors.
