Bets against retail stocks continue to increase as traders eye an even bigger drop in their stock prices. Analysts at RBC Capital Markets have identified 10 stocks with the most short interest right now.
Topping the list are some usual suspects like JCPenney, which announced earlier this year that it would close 138 stores. But there are some newcomers, as well. RBC notes that Urban Outfitters, Boot Barn, and Signet Jewelers have seen the biggest spikes in short interests.
On the other hand, Buckle, Abercrombie & Fitch, and The Children's Place have seen the biggest drops in short interest.
