The Most and Least Shorted Stocks

"Float short" is the percentage of a company's tradable shares shorted but not yet repurchased. A high float suggests many traders expect the stock to drop, though positive news may trigger a "short squeeze," rapidly driving prices up. Conversely, a low float indicates few traders are betting against the stock, signaling neutral or optimistic sentiment.

*Note that the least shorted stocks have been restricted to stocks with a market cap above 10B (10000M) to exclude companies with no short interest due to their size alone.
