TDW short interest rises 21% to 5.3M

Watch: Next earnings release to confirm if Tidewater can halt revenue decline and ease bear pressure from short sellers.

Short interest in Tidewater Inc surged 21% to 5,343,217 shares, now 13.5% of float with 6.5 days to cover. This increase follows a prior 21% jump to 4.4M shares and aligns with ongoing bearish sentiment amid insider selling and decelerating revenue growth. The stock has dropped 17.6% in one month, pressured by these elevated shorts and weak momentum.

Rising short interest at 13.5% of float highlights growing bearish market pressure that may extend the stock's recent downtrend despite fundamentals and institutional convergence.
