Arctic Star Goes Quiet

ADD is a stock at a standstill — the price data is 300 days stale, short interest has not moved in months, and the most recent insider activity is well over a year old.

The short interest picture here is essentially uninformative. A frozen 12,482 shares short has sat unchanged since at least mid-March, with no change in daily readings across the entire 30-day history window. At a sub-penny share price — last recorded at CAD $0.01 in July 2025 — the position represents a negligible sum. Arctic Star is a micro-cap exploration company on the TSXV with a market cap that cannot be confirmed from current data, and the short interest angle adds nothing to the story this week.

The ORTEX short score tells a slightly more interesting tale. It dropped sharply on April 28, falling to 27.7 from a range of around 31 that had held for the better part of two weeks. That move lower in the short score — which ranks positioning pressure relative to the broader universe — suggests reduced short-side conviction, though given the tiny absolute short position, the signal has limited practical weight. The score ranks in the 82nd percentile for short score rank, a reading that reflects the relatively static, low-pressure nature of the borrow market for this name.

Cost-to-borrow data is stale, last recorded in September 2025 at 6.1%, and should not be treated as current. Utilization data is similarly unavailable in any meaningful form. There is no analyst coverage, no options market, and no institutional flow data that is current enough to act on.
