Frequently asked questions

What is PEP's short interest?
As of the FINRA settlement date 2026-09-30, PEP had 23.3M shares sold short — 1.7% of its float, with 2.3 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.
Are insiders buying PEP?
In the last 12 months of SEC Form 4 filings, PEP recorded 3 insider purchases and 1 sale reported on Form 4 (transaction codes P and S; grants and option exercises excluded). These are attributed public records — information, not instruction.
