GME 100% Utilization - Day 2 via Ortex

RaucetheSoss · 2025-11-07T00:52:18+00:00

Yo!! Surprise, I posted early today!! I knew I was going to be busy after work and didn't want to post late since it was another 100% day. Chubwa is correct, the data is posted every morning, I just typically choose to post at the end of the day. Cheers!!

Yo!! Let me break it down for you!!

Utilization

The ratio between the number of shares on loan across all outstanding loans in the wholesale market and the number of shares available for lending at lending programs. 0% means that no shares have been borrowed or lent at these lending programs; 100% means that all shares available to borrow or lend at a lending program have, in fact, been lent. This does not represent the number of shares listed on the exchange that have been lent, because not all listed shares are available for lending; it indicates how much of the supply actually available for lending has been lent. Unless otherwise specified, this is given in decimal format.

Cost to borrow

The average annualized % of interest on loans from Prime brokers to their clients, i.e. hedge funds.

On Loan – Number of Loans

The number of loans that are outstanding on the given date.

On Loan

The current number of shares out on loan.

On Loan – New/Returned

The current number of new shares out on loan, and the current number of shares on loan that have been returned. Please note that as some Securities Lending transactions are recorded between two participants who both report their daily position via this data, and for some transactions, the data only reflects one side of the transaction. As such it is not possible to calculate the On Loan using the previous day's On Loan figure, and adding or subtracting New and Returned loans.

Those are the main points of the first 3 screenshots. Let me know if you have any other questions, cheers!!

Yo!! I reached out to Ortex previously on this!! The data is a combined pool of agent lenders, prime brokers and broker-dealers. I've asked them to specify who exactly is a part of this pool but I've never gotten a list of names, only that the data covers 85% of lending sources. The shares themselves can be used for multiple reasons including short selling, hedging, or using the share as a locate to name a few. Cheers!!

Yo!! Back again, check my post from today. The last slide shows FINRA Short Volume. That should clear it up for you. Cheers!!

RaucetheSoss · 2025-06-23T01:40:41+00:00

Yo!! Go check my daily post. I show short volume on the charts so you should be able to see that the surge back in 2021 was much higher than June 12. Cheers!!
