What does the trend tell you?
Short interest is falling. It is down 2.1 percentage points over the last month and now stands at 27.8%. The peak was 38.4% on Jun 27, 2026, so it is now 10.7 percentage points lower. 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. Falling short interest therefore means shares are being bought back in Tempus AI right now.

Many investors watch for exactly this: short interest that has been high and starts falling back. The professionals who bet on a falling price are closing down. 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 an extremely high share of short selling. More than 20% of the freely traded shares are sold short, which is unusual and can point to great skepticism among institutional investors. The risk of a short squeeze on positive news is considerable.

What does this mean for you as an investor?
A short interest of 27.8% means that 27.8% of the freely traded shares in Tempus AI have been borrowed and sold by investors betting on falling prices. On positive surprises (e.g. a strong earnings report), short sellers can be forced to buy back shares quickly to close their positions, which can cause a short squeeze with sharp price gains in a short time.

The next potential catalyst is the earnings report on Nov 3, 2026. With a short interest of 27.8%, 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.

Is Tempus AI making money or losing money?
No, Tempus AI is currently not making money — the company is losing money with a negative profit margin of -17.8%, a noticeable loss. That means the business loses money on every dollar of revenue.

In healthcare, 80-150% is typical — large pharma companies carry debt for research and acquisitions. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector.
