What does the trend tell you?
Short interest is rising. It is up 0.5 percentage points over the last month and now stands at 6.7%. More investors have borrowed Pony AI and sold it, expecting the price to fall.

It cuts both ways: if they are wrong and the price rises, they have to buy the share back — and those purchases can push the price up further on their own. That is called a short squeeze. 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 6.7% means that 6.7% of the freely traded shares in Pony AI have been borrowed and sold by investors betting on falling prices.

The next potential catalyst is the earnings report on Nov 24, 2026. With a short interest of 6.7%, the report can trigger considerable volatility.

Short interest comes from our data provider EODHD. The figure is reported about twice a month; we check it every trading day.
