Frequently asked questions

What is KMT's short interest?
As of the FINRA settlement date 2026-10-15, KMT had 6.5M shares sold short — 8.6% of its float, with 4.9 days to cover at average volume. FINRA publishes this data roughly two weeks after each twice-monthly settlement, so it is inherently delayed. A short-interest figure describes an aggregate position; it does not predict what the stock will do.
