8-K on sec.govFrom the company's 8-K, 10-K and 10-Q filings over the last two years. A flag is a reason to read the filing, not a verdict: many departures are planned retirements and many listing notices are resolved. Insider sales are shown for timing only; they are separate filings.
Short sale volume: 42.2% of the volume reported to FINRA over the last 20 trading days was marked short, above its 1-year average of 36.3%. FINRA daily files, to Oct 5, 2026.
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.
