This ranking reflects ORTEX News pulse activity. The real-time short-interest dashboard — with daily estimates, days-to-cover, cost to borrow, utilization, and the full history for every ticker — is on the ORTEX platform.
How this ranking works
Each ticker is ranked by a combined score: total short-interest pulses fired in the recent window, weighted by severity. A single critical alert counts more than three low-severity pulses. Ties break on raw pulse count.
Pulses fire when short interest, cost to borrow, or utilization cross ORTEX-configured thresholds relative to each ticker's baseline. The data is ORTEX's proprietary daily short-interest estimate, aggregated from agent lenders, prime brokers, and broker-dealers worldwide.
