Description

Why is a major North Sea energy supplier now the UK's most shorted stock? Ashtead Technology faces a perfect storm of factors: Trump's attacks on UK green policies, falling oil prices, tough government regulations, and investor flight from the North Sea. With shares already down 39%, hedge funds are betting big against Ashtead, while the company scrambles to reassure investors and navigate a sector in crisis.
