Increased Short Pressure on COO
Cooper Companies (COO) recorded a 50.4% off-exchange short volume ratio on October 28, 2026, according to FINRA Reg SHO data. This represents a +1.9 standard deviation increase from the stock's 20-session average, signaling a surge in short-side trading flow.
Analyzing the Data
With 615,100 shares marked short out of 1.22 million total off-exchange shares, the volume indicates a high level of short-selling pressure. As this data reflects daily flow rather than open positions, it is essential to monitor whether this trend persists. Investors should look for potential divergence between this daily flow and official short interest reports to gauge the conviction of short sellers in the name.
