Analysis
Short interest trend
Short interest has been rising on both the 7-day and 30-day view, which typically means traders are adding to bearish positions rather than covering.

KTEK AEROSYSTEMS LTD is printing a fresh 52-week high in % short, meaning positioning is the most bearish it has been in a year of reporting.
Peer comparison
KTEK AEROSYSTEMS LTD is less shorted than the peer group median (6.02%), by 5.38 percentage points across 4 comparable tickers.
How to read this
ASIC short position reports land four business days after trade (T+4). They are the most complete view of outstanding short positioning, but they lag. ASX publishes a T+1 gross short-sales series that describes short-selling activity for that trading session as a percent of issued capital, not the stock of open short positions. The two feeds answer different questions, so they should be read alongside each other rather than interpreted as the same metric.
