Is WOOLWORTHS GROUP LTD one of the most shorted ASX stocks?
It ranks 210th of 682 ASX products by reported short position, at 1.39% of shares on issue. The full most shorted ASX stocks table is updated every trading day from ASIC's report.

Why is the latest figure four days old?
ASIC publishes each trade date's aggregate on the fourth business day afterwards (T+4). We ingest each file the day it appears.
Which funds are short?
Australia's public data is aggregate-only: individual short sellers are not named in ASIC's daily report.
