Official Short Interest Data
As of the most recent settlement date on September 15, 2026, Accenture PLC (NYSE: ACN) reported a total of 24,818,048 shares held short. This figure, provided by FINRA, represents approximately 4.06% of the company's float. While this data is the official twice-monthly report and carries the standard reporting lag, it provides a critical baseline for institutional positioning in the IT services sector.
Market Context
Investors should note that this figure represents open positions rather than daily flow. With the stock trading near $199.71, the sheer volume of shares held short suggests a persistent bearish sentiment among institutional participants. Traders should monitor for any divergence between this official figure and real-time lending market data to identify if short interest has expanded since the mid-month settlement date.
