Bridging the Data Gap
Official FINRA short interest data is published only twice monthly and carries an 8-day lag, often leaving investors with outdated information. Ortex addresses this by modeling short interest daily using securities-lending data. By tracking shares on loan, utilization, and cost-to-borrow, Ortex provides a near-real-time view of short positioning. This allows analysts to spot squeeze risks and shifts in sentiment long before the official exchange prints are released. The platform covers over 52,000 securities, offering a more dynamic look at the short side of the market.
