Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE: YGE) showed a rise of 19.4% in short interest to 13.6 million shares.
Short interest in Yingli has risen for the past three reporting periods. The reason is simple: the stock appears to be overvalued. The consensus price target is around $4.75 and the stock has not traded that low since early September. LDK showed a big jump in short interest as well, due largely to a 30-day forbearance agreement it arranged in late September postponing a $13 million interest payment. The extension ends on October 27.
