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: 63.7% of the volume reported to FINRA over the last 20 trading days was marked short, above its 1-year average of 49.5%. FINRA daily files, to Oct 2, 2026.
Fails to deliver: 1,828 shares (about $1.01M) were not delivered on time for settlement on Aug 26, 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.
