Ross Stores sees 21% drop in short interest
Watch: Watch Q1 2026 comparable store sales for evidence of sustained growth and to validate the recent decline in short interest as a bullish inflection.
Short interest on Ross Stores fell 21% to 6.59 million shares, reducing short float to 2.4% and days to cover to 2.6. This decline suggests reduced bearish sentiment despite recent insider selling and a slight 0.64% price dip over the last week. Institutional momentum remains strong with top funds like Citadel and Elliott holding sizable positions, offsetting technical downtrend risks.
The drop in short interest signals growing market confidence and less downside pressure as Ross sustains its earnings and revenue momentum amid mixed signals from insiders and price action.
