Stocks low shorts under 50 k

Screening Filters

1. region = US

   • Purpose: Limits the screen to U.S.-listed stocks.
   • Rationale: This keeps the results aligned with a U.S. stock search and ensures the data set is consistent and liquid enough for short-interest comparisons.

2. list_exchange = XNYS, XNAS, XASE

   • Purpose: Restricts the scan to stocks listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ, and NYSE American.
   • Rationale: These are the major U.S. exchanges where short-availability data is most relevant and reliable. It also avoids less common venues that may have thinner coverage.

3. short_ratio = LessThan10Pct

   • Purpose: Targets stocks with low short availability.
   • Rationale: Your request is for stocks with “low short availability under 50k shares available to short.” The available filter does not support an exact “under 50k shares available to short” threshold, so this proxy filter is used to find stocks where shortable supply is already tight. It is an effective way to surface names with relatively constrained borrow availability, even if it does not measure the exact share count.

Why Results Match:

• The filters focus on U.S.-listed stocks only, which matches the stock universe implied by the request.
• The short_ratio = LessThan10Pct filter is the closest supported indicator for low short availability, helping identify stocks where shares available to short are scarce.
• We do not support an exact “under 50,000 shares available to short” indicator in the applied filter set, so the screen uses the best available proxy for low borrow availability.
• Taken together, these filters are designed to find stocks where short supply is tight on major U.S. exchanges, which is consistent with your goal.
