Most shorted
15% or more of all shares sold short, and at least five days of volume to buy them back.
Heavy short interest means many professional investors expect the price to fall, and they are often right. It also sets up short squeezes: when the price rises, short sellers rushing to buy back shares can push it higher still. Read this list as a warning first.
This list exists to warn, not to recommend: most stocks on it have a dividend the market expects to be cut.
This list isn't backtested: it relies on data we only have for recent periods (daily volume, short interest or superinvestor holdings).
Live since Oct 19, 2026. Holding the list as published, rebought at each month end: +3.2% against +2.1% for all stocks and +0.7% for the S&P 500, to Oct 30, 2026. Too short a period to read much into.
