البائعون على المكشوف يتوقعون أخبارًا سيئة

Bearish short sellers are circling Tesla stock, expecting declines after the EV maker reports second-quarter numbers on Wednesday evening.

Short sellers borrow stock they don't own and sell it, hoping for price declines so they can buy it back at a lower price, return the shares, and pocket the difference.

Tesla's short interest, the amount of stock borrowed and sold short, has climbed to almost 80 million shares, the highest level since 2021, from roughly 65 million shares in April, according to short-selling research firm S3 Partners. (S3 doesn't short stocks. It studies short-selling behavior.)
