At the start of each week I like to look at ASIC’s short position report to find out which shares are being targeted by short sellers.
This is because I believe it is well worth keeping a close eye on short interest levels as high levels can sometimes be a sign that something isn’t quite right with a company.
With that in mind, here are the 10 most shorted shares on the ASX this week according to ASIC:
Webjet Limited (ASX: WEB) remains the most shorted share on the ASX but only just. This week the online travel agent’s short interest has fallen by 200 basis points to 12.5%. Some short sellers may have been locking in returns after a recent and sharp pullback in the Webjet share price.
