Short interest has been markedly higher. It peaked at 10.9% on Jun 27, 2026 and now stands at 8.1% — a fall of 2.8 percentage points. Over the last month it has been fairly stable.

This is how shorting works: whoever shorts has borrowed the share and sold it, and to close the position again they must buy the share back. The fall from the peak therefore means that those who bet on a falling price in Nordic American Tankers have bought shares back and closed their positions. It is worth watching whether the curve stays there or turns again. That is not in itself a signal about what the price will do — we cannot predict the market, and short interest is only one number among many. But it does say something about what the large players are doing.
The stock has a high share of short selling. Between 5-10% of the freely traded shares are sold short, which suggests some investors are betting on falling prices. Positive surprises can lead to a moderate short squeeze.

What does this mean for you as an investor?
A short interest of 8.1% means that 8.1% of the freely traded shares in Nordic American Tankers have been borrowed and sold by investors betting on falling prices.

The next potential catalyst is the earnings report on Nov 27, 2026. With a short interest of 8.1%, the report can trigger considerable volatility.
