How it is measured
Each percentage is the shares sold short at FINRA’s settlement date divided by the company’s shares outstanding, taken from the cover page of its latest 10-Q or 10-K as filed with the SEC (the date beside each count). It is a share of all shares outstanding, not of the float, so it reads lower than a float-based figure for the same stock. The list holds stocks with at least 1 million shares short and 100,000 shares of average daily volume.
3,528 exchange-listed companies are measured. For a company with more than one class of shares (Palantir, Carvana, Alphabet), the count is of the class that trades under the ticker. Left out, not estimated: a foreign company that files a 20-F (its filing counts ordinary shares while its ticker trades depositary shares), a stock that split between the two dates, a company whose filing does not say which count is its listed class, and funds. Also left out until its next 10-Q or 10-K: a company that sold shares after its count, on or before the settlement (an 8-K reporting an unregistered sale of shares, or a prospectus for a share sale), because its count is then too low and its percentage too high (317 companies for this settlement). A stock missing from this page is not a stock with no short interest: its own page has FINRA’s count.
What is the most shorted stock right now? As of Oct 30, 2026, Wolfspeed (WOLF) is the most shorted of the US-listed stocks measured here: 54.1% of its shares outstanding are sold short (29.0M shares). Eos Energy Enterprises (37.5%) and Serve Robotics (36.2%) follow.
How is the percentage calculated? Shares sold short at FINRA's settlement date, divided by the company's shares outstanding from the cover page of its latest 10-Q or 10-K. It is a share of all shares outstanding, not of the float, so it reads lower than a float-based figure for the same stock. A company that has sold shares since that count is left out until its next one.
How often does the list change? Brokers report short positions to FINRA for two settlement dates a month, the middle and the end, and FINRA publishes each count about a week later. The list is rebuilt when a new count is published; between settlements no one publishes a count.
