NEGATIVE IMPACT
IDEXX Laboratories has seen an increase in short interest, indicating a bearish sentiment among traders. However, high short interest can sometimes be bullish, as it provides potential for a short squeeze.
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish on a stock. However, a high level of short interest can also be bullish, as it provides the potential for a short squeeze, where a rapid increase in the price of a stock forces short sellers to close their positions, further driving up the price.
