Research context
How to read the latest short-interest table
ShortInterest.au adds value by turning delayed regulatory files into searchable company pages, trend charts, movement summaries, and source-labelled explainers. The leaderboard is a starting point, not a recommendation: high short interest can reflect negative sentiment, hedging, index activity, merger arbitrage, liquidity constraints, or a crowded trade that may reverse quickly.
Current concentration
The top of the table shows where outstanding short positions are most concentrated relative to shares on issue.
Fresh shorting pressure
Weekly risers can point to new short interest being added, but they should be checked against liquidity, company news, and the T+4 lag.
- EOS increased by 1.55 percentage points over the latest seven-report window and now sits at 6.11% short.
- GMD increased by 0.91 percentage points over the latest seven-report window and now sits at 6.80% short.
- CU6 increased by 0.88 percentage points over the latest seven-report window and now sits at 7.61% short.
Covering and reversals
Weekly fallers can indicate short covering, but a falling position is not automatically bullish. It may follow price moves, borrow changes, or position limits.
- GYG decreased by 1.25 percentage points over the latest seven-report window and now sits at 9.31% short.
- ACL decreased by 0.95 percentage points over the latest seven-report window and now sits at 6.81% short.
- SNL decreased by 0.71 percentage points over the latest seven-report window and now sits at 3.72% short.
Before using the data
Compare the latest percentage with the 52-week range, check whether the move is one-day noise or a persistent trend, and read the ticker page alongside the methodology. For a fuller guide, read how to read ASX short interest and the research checklist.

ASX short interest explained
Short selling is when an investor borrows shares, sells them on market, and later buys them back to return to the lender. If the price falls in between, the short seller profits. Regulators and investors watch short interest because rising shorting can signal negative sentiment, crowded trades, or upcoming news.
On this site, “% short” is the estimated proportion of a company’s shares on issue that are out on loan and sold short. It’s a simple way to compare how heavily different tickers are shorted, regardless of their size. You can explore the current leaders in the Top 100, or drill into a specific ticker like BHP to see history.
ASIC publishes short position data on a T+4 basis. We pair that with the ASX next-day gross short sales file, reported as a percent of issued capital (T+1), so you can see trading-session short flow sooner. Both feeds are labelled clearly across the site. For sourcing and method details, see the About page.
