In January, Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust experienced a notable increase in short interest, reflecting a growing sentiment among investors. As of January 15th, short interest reached 273,600 shares, marking a substantial rise of 17.0% from the previous month’s total of 233,900 shares recorded on December 31st. This surge indicates heightened bearish sentiment towards the stock, as more investors are betting against its performance.
The short-interest ratio, which is calculated based on the average daily trading volume, currently stands at an impressive 195.4 days. This figure suggests that it would take nearly six and a half months for all short positions to be covered, should the trading volume remain constant. Such a high ratio typically signals that investors are anticipating potential declines in the stock’s price, which could lead to increased volatility in the market. Investors will be keenly observing how these dynamics play out in the coming weeks.
