Otis Worldwide's short interest has increased, which may indicate bearish sentiment, but it remains below the peer group average. This could lead to increased volatility in the short term.
The increase in short interest suggests that some investors are expecting a price decline, which could lead to short-term volatility. However, since OTIS's short interest is below the peer average, the impact may be muted compared to other companies with higher short interest.
