High short interest stocks
And the other rankings: most insider buyers, largest German and Swedish short positions, most active US House filers. Every table is sorted by a disclosed figure only. No ratings, no forecasts, no recommendations.
The short answer
The US stocks with the highest short interest in FINRA’s latest report (settlement date 15 SEPT 2026), ranked by days to cover, are CIA (Citizens, Inc.) at 37.1 days, SVRA (Savara Inc.) at 36.3 days and LXEO (Lexeo Therapeutics, Inc.) at 33.4 days.
Days to cover is the number of shares sold short divided by the average number of shares traded a day: how many days of normal trading it would take for every short seller to buy back. FINRA publishes shares sold short, not the share of the float, so this list ranks by days to cover instead of a percentage we would have to estimate.
415 of the 3,799 listed stocks trading at least 100,000 shares a day had 10 or more days to cover in this report.
- Most shares sold short: NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation), 294,225,803 shares.
- Source: FINRA consolidated short interest, reported twice a month by US broker-dealers.
- Left out: stocks trading under 100,000 shares a day, and funds and notes. A thinly traded stock can show months of days to cover on a small short position.
- Not the same thing: net short positions from the German and Swedish registers (one holder, as a % of issued capital) are a different measure and are listed separately below.

Questions people ask about short interest
- What are the top 10 most shorted stocks today?
- By days to cover in FINRA’s latest report (15 SEPT 2026): 1. CIA (37.1 days), 2. SVRA (36.3 days), 3. LXEO (33.4 days), 4. CHRS (32.8 days), 5. OGG (29.8 days), 6. TLSI (28.8 days), 7. TEVA (27.4 days), 8. AVIR (27.3 days), 9. TEAD (26.7 days), 10. LCTX (26.6 days). Only stocks trading at least 100,000 shares a day are counted.
- What does days to cover mean?
- It is the number of shares sold short divided by the average daily trading volume. A stock with 5 million shares short that trades 1 million shares a day has 5 days to cover. The higher the number, the longer it would take short sellers to buy back at a normal pace.
- Is 40% short interest high?
- Forty percent of the float would be far above the usual range for listed stocks. This page cannot show that percentage honestly: FINRA publishes the number of shares sold short, not the float, and float figures differ between data providers. It shows days to cover instead, which uses only FINRA’s own numbers.
- How often is short interest updated?
- FINRA collects short positions from brokers twice a month, for a mid-month and an end-of-month settlement date. This page reads FINRA’s file daily and shows the newest report it holds, settled 15 SEPT 2026.
- Why are the German and Swedish short positions listed separately?
- They measure something else. The German and Swedish registers show one holder’s net short position as a percentage of a company’s issued shares. Positions from 0.1% are reported to the regulator, and the holder is named from 0.5%; Sweden’s Finansinspektionen also publishes a total per company. FINRA’s figure is the total of all short positions in a US stock. Mixing the two would give numbers that mean nothing.
