Frequently asked questions

How shorted is WH SMITH PLC right now?
9.99% of WH SMITH PLC's issued share capital was sold short as of 10 Jul 2026, per the FCA's aggregate net short position publication (rehearsal figures reconstructed from the FCA's pre-2026 register).
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.
Which funds are shorting WH SMITH PLC?
Since 13 July 2026 the FCA no longer publishes position-holder names, only the aggregate per company. Under the old regime, individual funds with positions of 0.5% or more were named publicly.
How often is this updated?
The FCA publishes every working day around midday, two working days after the position date. We ingest each publication the same day and re-check recent days for corrections.
