Sea Ltd: Potential for a Short Squeeze
- We suspect that the recent strength in Sea (SE US)‘s price performance is likely due to short covering, with shorts incentivized to cover after a nearly 38% gain.
- As earnings approach, short positions have been increasing since late October, likely anticipating another earnings disappointment from Sea Ltd’s Q3 report on November 14, 2023.
- Consensus estimates for Sea Ltd are at their lowest since its inception. A modest outperformance could lead to a squeeze in short interest.
