Live short-interest data on ORTEX

ORTEX News publishes the articles. For the live picture — daily short-interest estimates, days-to-cover, short squeeze signals, and the full history — the platform is at app.ortex.com.

About short interest

Short interest measures the total shares of a stock that have been sold short but not yet covered. Expressed as a percentage of the free float, it shows how much of a company's tradeable stock is currently bet against. High short interest combined with rising cost to borrow and utilization is a classic short-squeeze setup.

ORTEX aggregates short interest from agent lenders, prime brokers, and broker- dealers worldwide, updated daily. This gives a much fresher picture than the fortnightly FINRA official reports alone.

Key short-interest metrics ORTEX News tracks: short interest % of float, days to cover, cost to borrow (CTB), utilization, and the ORTEX Short Squeeze signal.
