Which ASX companies the market is betting against, from ASIC's daily report (four trading days behind). Covers ASX-listed companies only, and only those with a reportable short position — a company that is missing is not shorted, not missing from our data.

From ASIC’s daily short position reports, which list the reported short positions in ASX-listed companies as a percentage of shares on issue. ASIC publishes them with a delay of a few trading days, and every board here states the report date it is built from.
What does "% short" mean?
The reported short position divided by the company’s shares on issue. A company at 10% has a tenth of its shares reported as sold short. A company that does not appear has no reportable short position in the latest report, which is not the same as a figure of zero being checked.
What do the rising and falling boards show?
The change in percentage short since the previous report, in percentage points. A rise means more of the company’s shares are being sold short than before; a fall usually means short sellers are buying shares back to close their positions.
Is a heavily shorted stock a buy or a sell?
Neither, and nothing on this page is advice. Short interest says how many shares are on loan and sold, not why. Some of it is hedging against convertible notes or index trades rather than a view on the company. Read the company’s own announcements before drawing a conclusion.
Do I need an account to see these?
No. The boards are free to everyone, with no sign-in and no payment. An account adds your own watchlist, which then appears as a filter on the full list.
