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.
2 notices filed with state agencies, covering 134 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).
84 certified in FY2026 Q3, vs 120 a year earlier. 924 positions in total, median offered wage $154K 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.

Short sale volume: 44.0% of the volume reported to FINRA over the last 20 trading days was marked short, close to its 1-year average of 45.1%. FINRA daily files, to Oct 5, 2026.
Fails to deliver: 22K shares (about $10.2M) were not delivered on time for settlement on Sep 8, 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.
