The most recent short interest data has just been released by the NASDAQ for the 03/13/2015 settlement date, and we here at Dividend Channel have sifted through this fresh data and screened out these five S&P 500 stocks.

For the five stocks below, we have detected a notable change in days to cover, not just from the prior reporting period but also going back a full month. The table below summarizes what we found, with the five columns showing data for each of the five stocks, and the rows showing the days to cover values first from the 02/13/2015 reporting period, then the most recent 03/13/2015 reporting period, followed by the change and percentage change: |
