AmeraMex International arrives at mid-May with short interest near zero and a lending market that is completely open — making this week's modest price softness the more relevant story.
Short positioning is negligible. The most recent ORTEX estimate, dated March 12, puts shares short at roughly 4,000 — just 0.03% of the float. That figure was itself a fraction of the peak seen in February, when short interest briefly climbed above 19,000 shares before rapidly unwinding. Official FINRA data for April 30 tallied only 7 shares short. The borrow market reflects that: cost to borrow was last recorded at 0.64%, barely above the floor, down sharply from a spike above 14% seen in January. Availability is essentially wide open. Nothing in the lending data points to any meaningful directional conviction from short sellers.
The earnings calendar is the one data point that adds colour to this week. AMMX filed a release on May 15, announced only six days prior. The two prior events with price-reaction data painted different outcomes: a March 10 release drove the stock up nearly 16% on the day and 11% over the following week, while the May 8 event saw a 5.6% one-day drop and a 2.8% five-day decline. That is a thin sample, but the contrast underscores how binary news flow can be for a name at this market cap level.
Price action this week has been muted. AMMX closed at $0.1749 on May 15, up 6.6% on the day but off 2.8% for the week. The one-month gain of 8.2% is the most substantive trend in the data. Market cap is not disclosed in the snapshot, and the only available valuation reference — an enterprise value of approximately $11.8 million as of year-end 2026 — is a forward figure that carries limited near-term utility as a pricing anchor.
Factor scores give AMMX a short score rank of 95 and a utilisation rank of 89, both reflecting how little short-side activity there is relative to the broader universe. The dividend score of 24 confirms no meaningful income component. With no analysts covering the name and no institutional flow data available, the next reference point is what the May 15 filing actually disclosed — and how the market digests it in the days that follow.
