Short sale volume: 52.5% of the volume reported to FINRA over the last 20 trading days was marked short, above its 1-year average of 47.8%. FINRA daily files, to Oct 5, 2026.
Fails to deliver: 4,618 shares (about $1.57M) were not delivered on time for settlement on Aug 31, 2026. SEC fails-to-deliver data.
Short sale volume is not short interest. It counts trades marked short, including market makers selling short to fill buy orders, so it is a share of daily trading, not a count of bets against the stock. Fails to deliver have many causes, including processing delays, and are often resolved within days.
Anyone owning more than 5% must file within days. Structured filings exist since December 2024, so older stakes that were never amended may be missing.
