Basic Stats

Introduction

This short interest tracker provides a variety of short interest related data, sourced from a variety of partners. The data is organized by frequency of updates, with intraday data at the top (short shares availability, short borrow fee rate), daily data (short volume, fails-to-deliver) in the middle, and the slowest updated data (short interest) at the bottom. Note that short interest is published twice-monthly, on a schedule set by FINRA.

Where does Fintel get its data? We source our short interest data from a variety of providers. The Short Interest figures we provide are sourced directly from the stock exchanges (NASDAQ, NYSE, NYSE American, NYSE Arca, CBOE, and IEX) and FINRA. This is the official data and covers a broad spectrum of the market. We do not source short interest from a single broker. For Canadian, Australian, and Hong Kong markets, the short interest is published by the regulatory agencies of those countries. We get this data directly from those agencies on a daily or twice-weekly basis. The float and shares outstanding we use are sourced from Capital IQ, which is one of the top firms that provide this data.

Is short interest self-reported, and therefore unreliable? Short interest is not self-reported. FINRA and U.S. exchange rules require that brokerage firms report short interest data to FINRA on a per-security basis for all customer and proprietary firm accounts twice a month, around the middle of the month and again at the end of each month. See Short Interest — What It Is, What It Is Not. for more information.

Are dark pool trades counted in short interest figures? Yes, they are. The primary difference between a dark pool and a lit exchange is that pre-trade information such as bid/ask are not available. However, once a trade is made, dark pool trades are published on the tape and tracked like every other trade. When it is time to report, any open short positions are reported, no matter what type of trading venue those shares were acquired on.

Short Squeeze Score

Short Shares Availability

This table shows the number of shares of GB:NWG available to be shorted at a leading prime brokerage. It is not the total number of shares available to short, nor is it the short interest.

It does not include data from other brokers or dark pools. It is a small sample, and it is useful for tracking the rise and fall in demand for shares throughout the day and weeks. It should not be treated as an absolute number of shares that are available to short in the market.

We update our database every 30 minutes but only display changes, in order to improve readability.

Short Borrow Fee Rates

NWG / NatWest Group plc short borrow fee rates are shown in the following table. This table shows the interest rate that must be paid by a short seller of GB:NWG to the lender of that security. This fee is shown as an annual percentage rate (APR). Lenders are funds or individuals that own the security that have indicated to the broker that they are willing to lend it out. Dividends paid to a shorted security go to the owner/lender of the security, not to the borrower.

Start, Min, Max, Latest (Borrow Rates)

These represent borrow rates for the day, with the rate at the start of the day, the end of the day (or the latest for the current day), the minimum rate in the day, and the maximum rate for the day. Unlike the Options Implied Borrow Rates, our source for this data always presents them as positive numbers, and they represent an annualized interest rate that is paid by the borrower for the shares.

Update Frequency: Intraday every 30 minutes.
