Interlink Electronics enters its May 11 earnings report carrying a stock at $2.85 — and a track record of selling off hard after every recent print.
The most striking feature of this setup is the earnings history. Every one of the last four reported results sent the stock lower the following day. The drops range from 3.4% to 16.1%, with the November 2025 release producing a 16% single-day decline that extended to 24% by the end of the week. The March 2026 release brought a further 9.2% slide the next day. That's a consistent pattern of post-print weakness, and the stock has lost 5% over the past month even before this week's result.
The positioning picture around the May print is notably thin. Short interest is negligible — under 0.2% of the free float at last count — and borrow costs have been drifting lower, now at 4.0%, down from around 5.8% in mid-March. Availability in the lending market is ample, with no sign of squeeze pressure building. The ORTEX short score of 32.3 reflects the same picture: short sellers aren't crowding in, and the lending market is relaxed. The week-on-week increase in short share count of roughly 52% sounds alarming but the absolute volume is tiny — around 22,000 shares — making it more statistical noise than a real directional signal.
What defines this stock more than short positioning is its ownership structure. Chairman, President, and CEO Steven Bronson controls 63.8% of shares outstanding. BKF Asset Management holds a further 14.2%. Together, those two names account for nearly 78% of the company, leaving a free float so small that even modest selling can move the price materially. That structural thinness cuts both ways — it limits the scope for conventional short pressure, but it also means any liquidity event can have an outsized price impact. The Lead Independent Director, David Wolenski, has made small open-market purchases over the past few years, though his most recent buys in November 2025 were executed at prices around $4.13–$4.17, well above where the stock trades today.
Analyst coverage is sparse and stale. The most recent meaningful action on record is from September 2025, when Lake Street raised its price target to $13 — a figure that sits so far above the current $2.85 level that it cannot be treated as a live reference point without significant caveats. That gap almost certainly reflects the scale of the stock's decline since the note was filed, rather than any genuine bull thesis at current levels. No recent coverage has been identified.
With Q1 results due May 11 after market close, the key question is whether the company can arrest the pattern of post-print selling that has defined the past four quarters. The stock's proximity to multi-year lows, the concentrated float, and the historical tendency for results to disappoint relative to expectations make the print a meaningful event for a stock where even small moves in absolute terms represent large percentage swings.
