Prices are daily closes from Polygon.io. Company figures come from its own SEC filings. Past moves are not a forecast. OQRO reports what was filed and never tells you what to buy or sell.
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.

Labor condition applications for H-1B workers certified by the Department of Labor, counted by decision date (FY2026 Q3: Apr 1, 2026 to Jun 30, 2026, the latest quarter published).

Short sale volume: 57.8% of the volume reported to FINRA over the last 20 trading days was marked short, above its 1-year average of 54.9%. FINRA daily files, to Oct 5, 2026.
