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.
4 notices filed with state agencies, covering 412 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).
Short sale volume: 51.3% of the volume reported to FINRA over the last 20 trading days was marked short, close to its 1-year average of 51.9%. FINRA daily files, to Oct 2, 2026.
Fails to deliver: 2.66M shares (about $134M) 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.

8-K/A 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.
