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.
Short sale volume: 50.3% of the volume reported to FINRA over the last 20 trading days was marked short, below its 1-year average of 52.9%. FINRA daily files, to Oct 5, 2026.
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.
