- Short Seller Who Foresaw Valeant Crash Now Bets on Tesla Falling
Short Seller Who Foresaw Valeant Crash Now Bets on Tesla Falling(Bloomberg) — Short seller Fahmi Quadir, who bet against the drugmaker formerly known as Valeant Pharmaceuticals around its peak in 2015, is now betting on a dramatic drop in Tesla Inc. shares.
Quadir launched her fund in January to much fanfare after her research was publicly praised by storied short seller Marc Cohodes, the former head of hedge fund Copper River Management. She was formerly an equity analyst for Krensavage Asset Management, a New York-based firm that makes long and short wagers on stocks, with a focus on health care.
With Tesla, Quadir is betting against a company that ended June with just $2.2 billion in cash, and accounts payable — a measure of short-term debts to creditors or suppliers — of more than $3 billion. In a memo to suppliers in July, the company asked some suppliers to refund some payments to help it turn a profit. This week, Tesla resolved a dispute with Nevada a day after the state went to court to try to collect an allegedly unpaid $655,000 unemployment tax bill.
Tesla is one of the most bet-against stocks in the U.S., with short interest hovering around 26 percent of free float, according to data compiled by financial analytics firm S3 Partners. Musk, who is also the company’s largest shareholder, has long been consumed with investors wagering against the electric-car maker and has trolled them on Twitter. In May of this year, he warned that the “short burn of the century” was coming soon.
