Three separate signals on Sempra have converged this week. The put-call ratio spiked to its highest level in months. Short positions keep growing. And cost to borrow, while still tiny, quadrupled in a week. None of…
BIRK short interest has jumped 38% in a single week. The lending market tells an even starker story. Availability has collapsed to just 3.4%. That means fewer than one share remains available to borrow for every 28…
Why this matters: ASST is sending contradictory signals. Short sellers are adding exposure into a zero-availability borrow market. Options traders are simultaneously loading up on calls. Both camps are moving at once —…
Options traders have shifted decisively toward calls on MRSH. The put-call ratio has dropped to 0.51 — nearly 1.6 standard deviations below its 20-day average of 0.62. That's close to a 52-week low of 0.49. It is the…
The borrow stress that gripped FXI through late May has unwound decisively. Three signals are now pointing the same way — and none of them favour the bears. Short interest has fallen 22.3% in a single week. It sits at…
NAVN jumped 8.4% on June 11 after its earnings print. Ten analyst firms raised price targets the same day. The Street is now firmly behind the corporate travel software company. The target raise was broad and, in some…
SJM is up 15.5% over the past week. Yet three separate positioning signals are now pushing in the same cautious direction. The options market delivered the sharpest signal on June 11. The put/call ratio hit 0.52 — a…
Why this matters: Three separate data pulses have converged on SATL within 48 hours. The options market is flashing its most bearish signal in six months. Short interest has jumped sharply. And a major shareholder…
Options traders have turned sharply bullish on VEON. The put-call ratio has dropped to 0.61 — a z-score of -2.0 versus the 20-day mean. That's near the 52-week low of 0.55. Downside hedges are being unwound fast. The…
Visa is flashing an unusual alignment of signals into its July 21 earnings date. The options market just reached a 52-week bullish extreme. Short sellers have unwound the majority of a six-week position build in a…
Microsoft has now shed 7% in a week to $397.36. The options market is screaming louder than anything in the lending data. The put/call ratio hit 0.47 on June 10. That is four standard deviations above the 20-day mean…
Options hedging that looked like a one-day spike five days ago has hardened into a persistent posture. Three signals now point the same direction on SPOT. The previous ORTEX note from June 6 reported short interest…
The lending market for BHP has reached an extreme. Availability has collapsed to just 0.12% — meaning for every 800 shares already borrowed, fewer than one remains available to lend. Cost to borrow jumped 71% in a…
Three distinct signals are converging on LEU at once. Availability has collapsed to near zero. Options positioning has turned notably defensive. And short interest — still at 22.7% of float — is falling even as the…
Options traders are betting against the bearish grain in Li Auto. The put-call ratio hit 0.51 on June 10 — a 52-week low, and 2.2 standard deviations below its 20-day mean of 0.61. That is the most bullish options…
Options market put demand on TSN has jumped to its highest level in over two months. The put-call ratio hit 0.73 on June 9. That sits nearly two standard deviations above the 20-day mean of 0.64. The stock has dropped…
The Street raised targets on AVGO just six days ago. The stock has fallen another 4% since. That gap — between analyst conviction and market price action — is the defining tension in Broadcom right now. Following the…
Why this matters: Payoneer stock jumped 24% yesterday. Yet short sellers added positions the same day. Options traders, meanwhile, are the most bullish they've been all year. Three signals pulling in opposite…
Marvell Technology retreated 7.6% on June 9, closing at $266.88. The stock had touched $290 earlier in the week. Now the data shows a telling split: short sellers moved quickly on the dip, yet options traders are…
