Rising Bearish Pressure on Marriott

Recent data indicates a notable shift in sentiment toward Marriott International (MAR). According to the latest biweekly reporting, short interest has surged to 5,545,189 shares. This represents a 20.2% increase from the prior settlement period, signaling that institutional and retail shorts are actively building positions against the hospitality giant.

Analyzing the Squeeze Risk

While the increase in short interest is substantial, the current 'days to cover' metric remains relatively low at 2.67 days. This suggests that despite the growing bearish conviction, the immediate risk of a violent short squeeze remains muted, as the current volume is sufficient for shorts to exit their positions without triggering extreme price volatility. Investors should continue to monitor these levels as the gap between the official biweekly FINRA/Nasdaq figures and real-time lending market activity widens.
