AMC short interest since August 2025
FINRA’s report settled on 15 September 2026 showed 43,340,153 AMC shares held short, 15.49% more than two weeks earlier. AMC trades in large volume, so that position equals only 1.86 days of trading at its average of 23,299,799 shares a day.
The position was much larger at the start of 2026. Shares held short jumped 84.5% in the 31 December 2025 report, from 50,362,080 to 92,917,767, and peaked at 125,717,279 on 13 February 2026. After that the count fell in most reports, down to 37,527,938 on 31 August 2026, its low point since our records begin in August 2025.
Set against every US listing in that report with average volume of 100,000 shares or more, 3,799 in all, AMC came 145th by shares held short and 3,116th by days to cover on that date. That gap is what heavy volume does: a big short position can still be less than two days of normal trading.
- Is AMC still heavily shorted?
- It depends on the measure. By number of shares, AMC stood high: 43,340,153 on the September settlement date, 145th of 3,799 actively traded US stocks. By days to cover it stood low: 1.86 days, 3,116th of the same 3,799. Both numbers come straight from FINRA.
- Is AMC getting shorted?
- More AMC shares were held short on 15 September 2026 than two weeks earlier: 43,340,153 against 37,527,938, a rise of 15.49%. FINRA reports the total across all brokers twice a month. It does not say who holds the positions or when each one was opened.
- Is 20% short float high?
- That kind of figure compares shares held short with the float. FINRA publishes no float, and providers disagree about what belongs in it, so this page gives FINRA’s own numbers: shares held short and days to cover. A site that shows a float percentage has taken the share count from another source.

As of 15 September 2026, 43,340,153 AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. shares were held short — the total across every reporting firm, not one fund's position. That is 5,812,215 shares more than the previous report, a 15.49% increase. At the average daily volume of 23,299,799 shares, that position represents 1.86 days of trading — what the filing calls days to cover.
This is the most recent figure that exists, and it is 18 days old. FINRA collects short interest twice a month, on a settlement date, and publishes it seven business days later. So nobody has a live short-interest number for AMC — not us, and not anyone quoting one. We print the settlement date on the figure so you always know which day you are looking at.
Across the 12 reports we hold, the position has fallen from 88,880,424 shares on 31 March 2026 to 43,340,153 today, a change of 51.2%. The highest reading in that window was 106,232,769 shares on 30 April 2026.

- What is AMC's short interest?
- 43,340,153 shares, as of the 15 September 2026 settlement date. That is the figure FINRA published, unadjusted.
- What percentage of the float is short?
- We do not publish that, because FINRA does not publish float. The regulator reports the number of shares held short; turning it into a percentage needs a share count from somewhere else, and different sources disagree about what counts as float. We would rather give you the number that was actually filed than a percentage built on an assumption.
- How current is this?
- It is 18 days old, and that is as fresh as short interest gets. FINRA measures it twice a month and publishes it seven business days after the settlement date. Any site showing you a "live" short interest figure is showing you something else.
- What does days to cover mean?
- It is the short position divided by average daily trading volume — here, 1.86. It describes how many days of ordinary trading the position is equivalent to. It is arithmetic from the filing, not a prediction about what will happen.
- Where does this come from?
- FINRA's consolidated short interest file, which is public. We read it directly and store it unchanged, except that we blank the days-to-cover placeholder FINRA writes when a stock has almost no volume.
