short interest
Borrowed shares outstanding
Short interest is a stock market metric measuring the total number of shares that investors have sold short but not yet covered or closed out.
High short interest suggests many traders are betting a stock's price will fall: The stock's short interest exceeded 30% of its float.
When short interest is reported as a percentage, it typically shows what fraction of available shares are currently held short.
A stock with unusually high short interest may be vulnerable to a short squeeze if the price rises instead.
