As of November 13, 2026, there are 769 US-listed stocks carrying notable short interest. This data, which tracks the percentage of freely traded stock borrowed and sold short, serves as a barometer for market-wide bearish sentiment. It is crucial to distinguish that high short interest is not a sell signal in itself; rather, it indicates that a significant portion of the market is betting on a decline. However, these high-SI names are often the primary candidates for short squeezes if positive catalysts emerge. Investors should be wary of the risks associated with these names, as forced buy-backs from short sellers can lead to rapid, outsized price moves. We recommend focusing on tickers where short interest is diverging from fundamental performance.
