Days to cover

FINRA's own figure: reported shares short divided by the stock's average daily trading volume, published alongside each settlement. It expresses the short position in days of typical trading rather than as a percentage of the company; the two can move differently.

Short interest around results

For each results announcement (an 8-K reporting results, by its SEC filing date), the FINRA settlement before it and the first one after. Settlements fall twice a month, so the two figures can sit up to a month apart and much else changes in between: this shows what was reported, not why.

Fails to deliver

The SEC's fails-to-deliver figure for BYND: the aggregate net balance of shares that failed to be delivered at each settlement date, published by the SEC twice a month and shown here verbatim for the trailing window. A balance is not a daily flow, and a fail has many ordinary causes; the SEC says it cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data. See what fails to deliver are and the largest balances today.

Frequently asked questions

How shorted is Beyond Meat, Inc. right now?
25.32% of Beyond Meat, Inc.'s (BYND) shares outstanding were reported short for settlement date 31 Jul 2026, per FINRA's consolidated short interest report.
What does this number include?
FINRA member firms must report their short positions in all US equities twice a month; FINRA consolidates them per security. We divide that official share count by the company's shares outstanding from its SEC filings. This is the regulatory figure, not a daily estimate.
Why does it only update twice a month?
US short interest is reported for settlement on the 15th and the last business day of each month, and FINRA publishes the consolidated figures about nine business days later. That cadence is set by regulation; no daily official figure exists.
Is this BYND's short float?
No. This is short interest as a percentage of shares outstanding, the count in the company's SEC filings. "Short float" divides the same FINRA short count by the public float, which excludes closely held shares, so it comes out higher for the same company. We publish no float estimates: the float is not a regulatory figure.
What is BYND's days to cover?
5.55 days for settlement date 31 Jul 2026: FINRA's own short interest ratio, the reported shares short divided by average daily trading volume. It is published in the same FINRA file and shown verbatim; we hold no volume data ourselves.
Which funds are short?
US public short interest is aggregate-only: individual short sellers are not named. Only some EU markets publish named positions.
