GGB short interest surges 28% to 5.6M shares

Watch: Monitor Q1 2026 earnings for Brazil's stabilization and North America's ability to sustain profit growth to gauge if short pressure abates.

Short interest in Gerdau S.A. jumped 27.9% to 5,599,233 shares, lifting short % of float to 0.7%. Days to cover remain low at 0.3, signaling immediate sell pressure despite limited float exposure. This surge aligns with recent bearish sentiment following Brazil's 87% profit collapse and mixed analyst views on recovery.

Rising short interest highlights growing investor skepticism toward Gerdau's near-term recovery prospects, particularly around Brazil's market weakness which limits upside from North America.
