Font Size:
The Nasdaq recently released its month-end November short interest data, and below we highlight the 25 stocks in the Nasdaq 100 with the highest and lowest short interest as a percentage of equity float. As shown, Sears Holdings (SHLD) has by far the highest short interest at 25% of float. SHLD is followed by AMLN, CEPH, WFMI, UAUA, BIDU, LVLT and LAMR. While the Nasdaq 100 is typically associated with Tech, not many Tech names appear on the list of highly shorted stocks.
However, the list of stocks with the lowest short interest as a percentage of float is made up of a lot of Technology names. ERIC, CSCO, RYAAY, ORCL, INTC, INFY and MICC are the least shorted stocks in the index.
