Keep in mind that at Erlanger Research, we distinguish ourselves by how we calculate our Short Ratios. To get an understanding and how we view short data, you can watch the our video.

Couple interesting names that “jump” out are $KDP, $KLAC, and $ON. These names also take into account good “grades” from our Short Interest Performance rankings (more info). Basically - when the shorts enter a stock, do they usually get squeezed out when the stock advances (aka a “short squeeze”), or are they “smart” short sellers and the stock usually declines when the shorts start accumulating positions. Very key information to know when viewing short data!
