Top 5 Stocks by Short Interest Ratio

Top 5 stocks with Total Volume > 1,000,000. High ratios (>40%) indicate bearish sentiment or short squeeze potential.

1. Short Interest Ratio

What It Is: Percentage of total trading volume that is short sales ((ShortVolume + ShortExemptVolume) / TotalVolume * 100).

Why It Matters: Ratios >40% suggest volatility or short squeeze potential.

Example: High short interest stocks may experience rapid price increases if short covering occurs.

What It Is: Top 20 stocks by Short Interest Ratio from the top 100 by Squeeze Score (TotalVolume > 1,000,000), sorted by Total Volume.

Why It Matters: High-volume stocks with high short interest are prone to price spikes.

Example: Stocks with high Squeeze Scores indicate potential for rapid covering.

3. Market Center Activity

What It Is: Stocks with shorting across multiple markets (e.g., NYSE, NASDAQ) and high short volume, sorted by Total Volume.

Why It Matters: Multi-market shorting often reflects institutional activity.

Example: Stocks traded on multiple exchanges show broader market interest.

4. Short Exempt Volume Ratio

What It Is: Percentage of short sales that are exempt (ShortExemptVolume / (ShortVolume + ShortExemptVolume) * 100).

Why It Matters: Higher ratios may indicate regulatory exemptions or significant shorting.

Example: Low exempt ratios suggest speculative shorting activity.
