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.
Short sale volume: 52.3% of the volume reported to FINRA over the last 20 trading days was marked short, above its 1-year average of 48.1%. FINRA daily files, to Oct 2, 2026.
Fails to deliver: 6,822 shares (about $1.24M) were not delivered on time for settlement on Sep 14, 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.
20 notices filed with state agencies, covering 105 workers in total. Employers must warn the state ahead of a plant closing or mass layoff at a site.
Official WARN lists from California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois and Washington only; notices filed in other states are not shown. Matched on the employer name as filed, so a notice filed under an unrelated subsidiary name can be missing. Dates are the notice date (Washington: the date the state received it).
8 certified in FY2026 Q3, vs 13 a year earlier. 800 positions in total, median offered wage $146K a year.
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). A certified application is a step before a visa petition, not a hire or a visa, and one application can cover several positions. Matched by employer ID number or name.

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.
