D. E. Shaw's short9 Mar 2026 20:35
Looking at the timeline, D. E. Shaw's position hit the 0.50% threshold on March 5, 2026. However, they likely built the bulk of that position during the dip in early February when the stock hit its 52-week low.
Estimated Entry: Roughly 2,100p (during the post-earnings/AI scare in mid-February).
Current Price (March 9): 2,667p. Thats a ~27% increase against their position.
Estimated Loss: on their 9.14 million shares approximately £51.8 million. This must be hurting and putting them under pressure to close, so we may get a big squeeze at some point soon
