Short interest shifted sharply across five publicly traded companies in September, with three seeing major declines and two recording sharp gains. Watchlist News reported that HUB Cyber Security's short interest fell 51.5% to 39,540 shares, while Oceanhawk Acquisition dropped 40.8% to 1,911 shares and CV Holdings decreased 50.1% to 23,167 shares. At the same time, CXApp's short interest climbed 47.6% to 34,301 shares, and CHS rose 49.1% to 6,724 shares.
Three Stocks See Sharp Short-Interest Pullbacks
HUB Cyber Security, Oceanhawk Acquisition, and CV Holdings all experienced significant reductions in bearish bets during September. Watchlist News noted that HUB Cyber Security dropped from 81,540 shares to 39,540 shares—a 51.5% decline. Oceanhawk fell to just 1,911 shares, down 40.8%, while CV Holdings slid to 23,167 shares with a 50.1% decrease. These declines suggest investors are backing away from bearish positions across cybersecurity, SPAC, and finance sectors.
CXApp and CHS Short Interest Climbs Sharply
CXApp and CHS moved in the opposite direction, with both companies seeing substantial short-interest growth in September. CXApp, a workplace platform that offers employee communications, room booking, and facility navigation, saw short interest jump 47.6% to 34,301 shares. CHS Inc., the major U.S. agricultural cooperative, recorded a 49.1% increase to 6,724 shares. CXApp's days-to-cover ratio of 4.3 suggests heightened vulnerability to a potential short squeeze if positive news emerges.
Oceanhawk Faces Analyst Skepticism Over SPAC Path
Oceanhawk Acquisition, a blank-check SPAC seeking a business combination, drew new analyst attention in September. Financial ratings firm Weiss Ratings initiated coverage with a "sell (e)" rating, citing structural risks inherent to SPACs. The company's dramatically low days-to-cover ratio of 0.0 reflects minimal trading volume and limited short-borrowing activity. Oceanhawk must finalize a merger target before trust deadlines force potential liquidation or shareholder redemption.
CHS Dividend Yield Offers Income Despite Rising Shorts
CHS Inc. declared a quarterly dividend of $0.4219 per share, which translated to a 7.0% annualized yield for income-focused investors. The dividend paid on September 30 to shareholders of record as of September 16. Despite short interest climbing nearly 50%, the steady payout—worth $1.69 per share annualized—appears to anchor the stock for dividend collectors, offsetting bearish pressure from traders hedging against commodity or interest-rate volatility.
