Peconic Stakes AMC as Insiders Stay Quiet

Peconic Partners filed a Schedule 13G on November 2, disclosing a 6.32% stake in AMC Entertainment as of September 30, 2026. The filing is passive, meaning Peconic has not signalled activist intent. Stakes are as last disclosed around the 5% threshold, so the actual current position may differ.

AMC carries a short interest of 5.7% of free float, with availability sitting at a very high 824%, suggesting shorts face little difficulty borrowing stock. The Peconic filing arrives as bears continue to build positions in the cinema chain, according to ORTEX data published today.

Separately, the MSCI World deletion radar flags Corteva with a 77% deletion probability, up sharply from 31% overnight. If confirmed on November 11, index trackers would be forced to sell an estimated $555 million of Corteva stock on November 30. That scale of forced selling often attracts pre-emptive short positioning.

On the broader insider front, ORTEX's vendor insider database, which covers non-US markets, shows the most recent filings dated to early September. AppLovin saw the heaviest insider selling pressure of any large US name by the one-month insider order imbalance metric, with its stock down 66% year to date. No fresh open-market C-level purchases above $1 million were retrievable for the current period from available data.
