Short interest intelligence for corporates:

Actionable marketintelligence

Publicly reported short interest arrives twice a month, roughly 2 weeks delayed. Equilend gives corporate issuers a daily view of short interest, borrow demand, and squeeze risk in their own securities and their competitors', built from live securities finance transactions across 50+ global markets. Track what the institutional lending market is doing in your name before the next earnings call, secondary offering, or corporate action.

The visibility gaps corporate issuers face when short sellers target their stock, their bonds, and their peers.

Challenge 1


Your peers' short interest tells you as much as your own.

Orbisa lets corporate issuers track short interest, borrow demand, and financing rates across the global marketplace. When short interest builds across your sector ahead of an earnings season, or a peer's borrow cost spikes, that is market intelligence you can bring to your board and your investor relations team. Coverage spans 50+ global markets and 223,000+ unique securities.

Challenge 2


You have no clear view of short activity in your corporate bonds.

Orbisa covers securities finance activity across asset classes, including fixed income, and is the only securities finance data product with fixed income coverage on Bloomberg. Corporate issuers can track borrow demand and short positioning in their bonds alongside their equity, giving treasury and investor relations teams a fuller picture of how the market is positioned across their capital structure.

Challenge 3


Squeeze risk builds before you can see it coming.

Equilend's Short Squeeze Score is a daily 0-to-100 metric that flags how vulnerable a security is to a short squeeze. It combines three signals: market dynamics such as price and volume anomalies, securities finance data such as liquidity pressure and rising borrow costs, and social sentiment from social media monitoring. For a corporate issuer, it is an early read on retail-driven risk in your own name, updated every day rather than twice a month.

How Equilend helps

The Equilend Data & Insights products that put short interest intelligence in the hands of corporate issuers.

Orbisa

Orbisa is Equilend's buy-side securities finance intelligence platform. For corporate issuers, it shows short interest, borrow demand, financing rates, and the percentage of float out on loan in your own securities and your competitors', curated from Equilend's trading data across 50+ global markets. Data reaches you through a web UI, API, Excel add-in, and Bloomberg.

Predicted Short Interest

Predicted Short Interest replaces publicly reported data, which lags by 2 weeks, with a daily estimate of short interest in any U.S. equity. It is built from live securities finance transactions, trained on more than 10 years of data, and delivered with a high and low range.

Short Squeeze Score

The Short Squeeze Score is a daily 0-to-100 metric that measures how exposed a security is to a short squeeze. It integrates market dynamics, securities finance data, and social sentiment into a single number, giving corporate issuers an early warning on retail-driven volatility in their stock.

Orbisa on Bloomberg

Orbisa on Bloomberg brings the full Orbisa dataset into the Bloomberg Launchpad at the security level. Corporate teams already working in the terminal can see predicted short interest, short squeeze risk, borrow demand, and financing rates in their own names without leaving Bloomberg.

Frequently asked questions

What does Equilend offer corporate issuers?

Equilend's Data & Insights products give corporate issuers a daily view of the securities lending market in their own name. Orbisa tracks short interest, borrow demand, financing rates, and the percentage of float out on loan across 50+ global markets; Predicted Short Interest provides a daily estimate of short interest in any U.S. equity; and the Short Squeeze Score flags retail-driven squeeze risk on a 0-to-100 scale, every day.

How is this different from publicly reported short interest?

Publicly reported short interest is published twice a month and arrives roughly two weeks delayed. Equilend's data is built from live securities finance transactions, so short interest, borrow demand, and squeeze risk update daily. Predicted Short Interest is trained on more than 10 years of data and is delivered with a high and low range, giving investor relations teams a current view rather than a fortnight-old snapshot.

Can we monitor our corporate bonds as well as our equity?

Yes. Orbisa covers securities finance activity across asset classes, including fixed income, and is the only securities finance data product with fixed income coverage on Bloomberg. Treasury and investor relations teams can track borrow demand and short positioning in their bonds alongside their equity for a full capital-structure view.

How do we access the data?

However your team prefers to work: a web UI, API, Excel add-in, or directly in the Bloomberg terminal. Orbisa on Bloomberg brings the full dataset into the Bloomberg Launchpad at the security level, so teams already working in the terminal never have to leave it.
