For analysts requiring more than the twice-monthly FINRA reports, Ortex offers near-real-time estimates of short interest across global exchanges. By modeling securities-lending data, Ortex provides insights into utilization rates, borrow fees, and days-to-cover that are significantly more current than official exchange prints. High utilization—approaching 100%—is a key indicator that shares are becoming difficult to borrow, often signaling increased risk for short sellers. This platform is essential for identifying the fastest-changing short positions and potential squeeze setups before they are reflected in official, delayed regulatory filings.
