DataLend has released its securities lending top 10 earning equities for 24 October, which reveals that Sturm Ruger has shot to the top of the US chart.
DataLend's lists rank the securities lending top 10 earning equities in each of the US, UK, Europe and Asia-Pacific, along with some context around the top few in each region.
The report showed that fees to borrow Sturm, Ruger & Co, a firearm manufacturing company, continued their downward slide as the stock price climbs higher.
Utilisation, which had been level at around 96 percent in recent weeks, rose higher this week. The firm announced recently that it will report its third-quarter earnings on 5 November.
Sears Holdings fees to borrow have been fairly level in hot territory in October, said DataLend. The stock price has come back down from a peak in early October, and utilisation remains high but down since September.
3D Systems fees to borrow were rising last week but have dropped again in recent days—though still hot. The stock price has been inching up since a spring dip reversed.
