Wall Street slide nets short sellers $127 bln

ReutersApr 8, 2025 2:32 PM

NEW YORK, April 8 (Reuters) - Short sellers targeting U.S. companies have gained $127 billion on paper from April 2 through Monday after President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs sparked a sharp selloff in stocks, according to data and analytics company Ortex Technologies.

The data, for U.S. companies with market capitalization $1 billion and greater, showed short sellers' gains for 2025 through Monday at $189 billion.

Short sellers aim to profit by selling borrowed shares and buying them back later at a lower price.
