ExxonMobil (NYSE:) has overtaken Tesla (NASDAQ:) as the most shorted large-cap stock in the in October, according to data from HazelTree. This development ends Tesla’s four-month reign in the top position. The list of the three most shorted stocks in the large-cap sector now includes ExxonMobil, Tesla, and Apple (NASDAQ:).
HazelTree uses a “Crowdedness Score” from 1 to 99 to rank these short bets. ExxonMobil and Tesla scored 99 and 97, respectively, while other high scorers included Apple (94), Charter Communications (NASDAQ:) (91), and Broadcom (NASDAQ:) (91). In the mid-cap sector, SOFI Technologies led with a score of 99, followed by American Airlines (NASDAQ:) and EV maker Lucid (NASDAQ:) both at 92.
The firm also monitors the percentage of a stock’s institutional supply that is loaned to short sellers. Rivian (NASDAQ:) Automotive led this category with 37%, significantly more than ExxonMobil’s 3.13% and Tesla’s 2.67%.

On the other hand, ExxonMobil has experienced a decline of about 6% over the same period.
