Regulatory Disclosure Update
According to the latest data from the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) as of November 13, 2026, Valeo continues to lead the French market in terms of disclosed short positions. With 12.76% of its shares held short, the company remains a primary target for institutional short sellers in the European automotive sector.
European Short Selling Landscape
European regulators maintain a transparent approach to short selling, requiring the disclosure of any net short position of 0.5% or more. This allows for a clear view of which institutional players are betting against companies like Valeo, Renault (11.72%), and Viridien (10.80%). Unlike the US, where official short interest is reported twice monthly, these European disclosures provide a more granular look at the specific funds and entities maintaining significant bearish exposure.
