Official Short Interest Reporting
CSX Corporation (CSX) short interest is reported on a bi-monthly schedule as mandated by FINRA and the exchanges. This data provides a critical, albeit slightly lagged, view of the total number of shares sold short. Investors use this information to assess the level of bearish sentiment surrounding the rail transport giant.
Understanding the Data
Because short interest is only updated twice a month, it is best used in conjunction with daily short volume data to identify trends. While the official figure provides the 'open position' count, daily volume data can help identify if short selling pressure is increasing or decreasing between the official reporting dates. Traders should consult the Nasdaq market activity page for the most recent settlement figures.
