NEUTRAL IMPACT
iBio's short interest has significantly increased, which may indicate bearish market sentiment but can also be interpreted as a potential bullish signal if a short squeeze occurs.
The rise in short interest for iBio suggests that more traders are betting against the stock, which typically indicates bearish sentiment.
