Before 2026: the named era
Reconstructed from the frozen named register: the sum of individually disclosed positions of 0.5% or more in ASSOCIATED BRITISH FOODS PLC at each disclosure date, back to 22 Jun 2016. This is a lower bound and a different measure from today's aggregate above, because positions between 0.1% and 0.5% were reported to the FCA but never published with names, so the two series are charted separately and are not comparable point for point. See the methodology.

Frequently asked questions
- How shorted is ASSOCIATED BRITISH FOODS PLC right now?

- What is ASSOCIATED BRITISH FOODS PLC's short interest?
- 3.32% of issued share capital as of 8 Oct 2026. "Short interest" is the US term; the FCA publishes the aggregate net short position, the sum of every disclosed position of 0.2% or more, so it is a lower bound on all short selling in the stock.
- What does this number include?
- It is the sum of every individual net short position amounting to 0.2% or more of the company's issued share capital, as notified to the FCA. Smaller positions are not counted, so total short interest can be somewhat higher.
