GameStop short sellers have now lost $320 million this year according to the latest S3 Partners data.

The company has more than 76.18 million shares held short with short sellers paying nearly 10% in annual fees to short GME stock.
While GameStop short sellers have lost $320 million this year so far, it’s possible that a spike in the share price may trigger another short squeeze.
“As the broader stock market has been on a tear for about a month, things are looking grim for investors with big short positions in stocks like AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. and GameStop,” said Ihor Dusaniwsky, head of predictive analytics at financial technology and analytics firm S3 Partners.
“One factor that is also killing profits for short sellers is the borrowing costs on stocks that no one is willing to part with,” he continued.
GME stock is up more than 42% this year-to-date.
