Short interest
How many shares are sold short in each stock, reported twice a month by FINRA.
About this data
- What it is
- Short interest is the number of shares investors have sold short and not yet bought back. FINRA, which oversees US brokers, publishes it for every US-listed stock twice a month.
- Who files it
- Brokers report their customers' short positions to FINRA, which publishes the totals.
- How current
- Positions are counted twice a month, and FINRA publishes them about a week later, so the latest report never includes today's short selling.
- Worth knowing
- A high number can reflect bets that the price will fall, or hedges against other positions. Days to cover is shares short divided by average daily volume: roughly how many days of normal trading it would take to buy them all back.
- Not to be confused with
- Fails to deliver: shares that were sold but not delivered by the settlement date, from the SEC. The tables on this page have a Fails outstanding column with the balance on each report date.
All of this comes from public filings.
