Shares in malls giant Hammerson have fallen along with the general stock market in recent weeks with the company now trading at just over 158p a share, compared to 308p at the start of the year and 240p a month ago.
This means the firm’s market value is down to £1.21 billion, but the share price itself doesn’t tell the full story as the number of its shares being acquired by ‘short-sellers’ has risen to a record high.
This suggests that confidence in the malls property sector is low and coming at the same time as rival Intu is teetering on the edge, could be a sign of worse to come. This is a view borne out by the fact that sector peers NewRiver and British Land have also seen higher shorting activity.
Date from IHS Market showed Hammerson-linked short-selling at a high last week with the number of its shares out on loan rising to more than 17% from 12% in early January.
Short-sellers use an investment strategy that can potentially see them making a large amount of money from a falling share price. They ‘borrow’ the shares and sell them to buyers willing to pay the market price. If the share price rises, they could incur extensive liabilities, but if it continues to fall, they’ll make a killing. A share being extensively ‘shorted’ is usually a sign of a wider lack of confidence around it in the market.
That said, at the same time as short-sellers are pouncing, some of Hammerson’s biggest shareholders are taking advantage of its share price fall to boost their stakes in the firm, a possible sign of deeper confidence in its long-term turnaround prospects.
