Xiao-I Corporation reports earnings today with short interest down 38% week-over-week. The stock has rocketed from pennies to $1.08, forcing rapid unwinding of crowded short positions.
Short interest stands at 2.41 million shares, representing 18.2% of the float. That's down sharply from recent highs — a 38% decline over the past week and 6% overnight. The April 9 peak saw 5.29 million shares short, nearly 40% of the float. Days to cover sits at just 1.0 day, signaling thin liquidity. Compared to prior earnings cycles, this marks a drastically different setup: AIXI was lightly shorted in prior quarters with minimal borrow demand.

The stock printed at $0.13 on March 23. It has since soared 736% in one month. Prior earnings prints on January 9 and October 9, 2025, generated minimal volatility. The July 9 event similarly passed without fanfare. This quarter's price action is unprecedented for the name, driven entirely by retail momentum rather than fundamental re-rating.
