Awards, option exercises, tax withholding and gifts are shown alongside open-market buys and sales. Each name links to the filing on SEC EDGAR.
Short interest
Shares sold short and not yet bought back, as of Oct 15, 2026 (FINRA, reported twice a month)
Shares sold short, last 12 months
Short sale volume counts trades marked short on any given day, including market-maker hedging, so it runs far higher than the share of Alibaba's stock actually held short. No settlement fails above the SEC's reporting threshold in the last 90 days.
