"(Reuters) - Shares of highly shorted Upstart Holdings jumped 32% in premarket trading on Wednesday, squeezing out bearish investors, after the artificial intelligence-driven lending marketplace secured an additional $2 billion in funding.

The San Mateo, California-based company, which uses AI to verify and process loans quickly, said it would receive the capital from new and existing partners over the next 12 months, helping the firm navigate an economic slowdown.

A sharp drop in demand for new loans because of high interest rates and fears of a slowdown has hammered shares of Upstart, erasing 82% of their value in the past 12 months.

"(The) committed funding agreements are a concrete step towards stabilizing Upstart's business," said James Faucette, analyst at Morgan Stanley, raising its price target on the stock to $13 from $10.

However, Faucette warned of risks ahead related to uncertain economic conditions, the company's historically challenged credit performance, and a lack of visibility to profitability.

Wall Street has a bearish view on the company and the average rating of 14 brokerages covering stock is "sell", while the median price target is $11.50, implying an 18.4% downside to the stock's last close.

At current levels, short sellers stand to lose about $122 million, according to analytics firm Ortex. About 37.5% of its free float was in short position as of May 8.

"With the price in Upstart jumping up over 30% in the pre-market, some short sellers will try to close their positions... adding additional buy pressure on the stock," said Peter Hillerberg, co-founder of Ortex.

When there is a rush of demand from short sellers looking to exit bearish bets due to a rise in a stock's price, it pushes prices even higher, resulting in a short squeeze.

The company's net loss per share, excluding items, was 47 cents, beating analysts' estimates of 81 cents loss per share, according to Refinitiv."

"Through this purchase agreement, Castlelake is pleased to partner with Upstart to expand its business in response to the increasing demand for affordable credit in today's economic environment," said John Lundquist, Partner, Specialty Finance at Castlelake. "Against a backdrop of increasing economic uncertainty, Castlelake is committed to helping support Upstart's mission of unlocking mobility and opportunity for millions of U.S. consumers."

"Upstart is excited to collaborate with a firm that we believe is an experienced and dependable capital provider through economic cycles," added Sanjay Datta, CFO of Upstart. "Castlelake's support will help ensure we have the resources to continue scaling the deployment of our AI models and expanding access to affordable credit for all consumers."

The transaction is a recent example of Castlelake's participation in the consumer credit and specialty finance sector, where it has both acquired assets and provided asset-based private credit. Other recent transactions include a £100 million facility commitment for a fintech company focused on expanding its revenue-based financing solution, and an agreement to provide credit to a tech-enabled trade financing platform built for small and medium-sized businesses.

"Whether through asset acquisition or bespoke private credit solutions, Castlelake has both the experience and flexibility to support companies operating in the specialty finance and consumer credit arena," said Isaiah Toback, Partner, Deputy Co-chief Investment Officer at Castlelake. "With sustained consumer demand for affordable credit and the ongoing retrenchment of traditional lenders, we believe that private capital represents an increasingly important part of the financing market for companies seeking steady, secure growth."

Die Shortquote ist ja nicht Tages aktuell oder ?  

Nicht aktuell  

Das stimmt.
Mit "weiter sehr hoch" meinte ich --wie schon seit Monaten--


Hier ist es "last updated" 09.Mai

data.nasdaq.com/data/FINRA/...nranyse-trf-short-interest-upst

32% davon short; alleine gestern wurden über 20 Mio gehandelt !

Die Shortquote dürfte mittlerweile deutlich niedriger liegen.

just my 2 cent

Ja, es kann gut sein, dass die Shortquote sinkt.
Aber wir müssen eben mit den Zahlen leben die wir sehen können.
Umgekehrt kann es genauso gut sein, dass wg.des erhöhten Kurses wieder Shortpositionen aufgebaut werden..

Also beschäftigen wir uns lieber mehr mit den Geschäftszahlen, den Kreditzinsen und dem Chart :)
