A security is on its listing market's threshold list when fails to deliver have been at least 10,000 shares and 0.5% of shares outstanding for five straight settlement days; broker-dealers must close out fails in these names under Rule 204. Longest current streaks first, from the Nasdaq and Cboe lists (our lists start 2022-01-03; a plus sign means the streak was already running then); NYSE-listed names will be added when the NYSE file can be read.
What this data is
Short interest
Twice a month, broker-dealers report to FINRA how many shares of each stock their customers hold short as of the settlement date. FINRA consolidates the reports across venues and publishes the total about eight business days later. It's the only complete count of short positions in US equities; everything else is an estimate.
Days to cover divides the short position by average daily volume. It answers how long it would take every short to close at a normal pace, which is the metric that turns a large short into a squeeze candidate.
The page shows the latest settlement for every symbol with the change from the previous report; each ticker's history is available through the API and the CSV. Sorting by days to cover, then filtering for a rising short count, surfaces the names where a squeeze has room to run.
Two daily series sit under the twice-monthly count. FINRA's Reg SHO files report, for every symbol, how many shares were sold short on its reporting facilities each day and the total shares reported, so the short share of a day's volume is visible the same evening. The SEC's fails-to-deliver files list, per security and settlement date, how many shares were not delivered on time. Both are on each company page next to the short interest for the same ticker.
Source and method
- Source
- FINRA consolidated short interest files; FINRA Reg SHO daily short sale volume files; SEC fails-to-deliver data
- Updates
- Short interest settles on the 15th and the last business day of each month, published about eight business days later. Daily short volume is posted by FINRA each evening and loaded at 01:30 UTC. Fails to deliver arrive twice a month, a few weeks after the half month ends. Last update 2026-09-17.
- History
- Short interest from December 2017; daily short volume from August 2021; fails to deliver from January 2010; Regulation SHO threshold lists from September 2026.

How to read it
- Short interest as a share of float is the ratio that matters; the raw share count is meaningless across companies of different sizes.
- Days to cover above five with a rising short count is the classic squeeze setup. Above ten is rare and worth attention.
- A falling short count into rising price is covering, and it's usually most of the way done by the time it shows in a twice-monthly report.
- Daily short volume near half of total volume is normal for most large stocks because market makers sell short to fill buy orders. The signal is a symbol far above its own average, or above 60% for days in a row.
- Fails to deliver that persist for five settlement days at 0.5% of shares outstanding put a stock on the threshold list; the raw fail count is only meaningful next to the float.
