Hickey and Walters (Bespoke) submit:
Below we highlight stocks in the S&P 1500 with the highest short interest as a percentage of float. Investors like to look at these names to 1) find companies that investors are extremely negative on, and 2) find companies that could see big spikes on any hint of positive news due to short covering.
As shown, JOS A Bank (JOSB) is the most heavily shorted stock in the index, with 91.5% of its float sold short. JOSB is followed by CORS, NTRI, LTM, HZO and NILE.
