A quick note on timing. The figures on this page come from different places and refresh on different clocks. Exchange short interest is reported twice a month, FINRA short volume lands every trading day, SEC fails to deliver arrive about two weeks late, and borrow numbers move throughout the day, so two figures here can carry different as of dates. Anything tagged PREVIEW is sample data while we finish wiring its live feed. Prices are delayed 15 minutes. This page is for education, not investment advice.

Introduction

This page gathers everything we track on the short side of ManpowerGroup Inc (MAN) in one place, ordered by how quickly each number changes. The fastest moving figures, like the borrow fee, sit near the top. Daily figures such as short volume and fails to deliver come next. The slowest data, the official short interest that exchanges publish twice a month, sits at the bottom. Reading it top to bottom gives you a feel for what is happening right now versus what has built up over time.

Short squeeze score

Updates intraday

Moderate squeeze risk

MAN scores 48 out of 100. The biggest factor is borrow fee at 42.3% (high); days to cover of 4.10 is elevated and a borrow fee near 42.3% is high. Short-side pressure is middling and nothing here points to an imminent squeeze.

Cost to borrow

The annualized rate a short seller pays to borrow MAN. The latest reading is 42.27%. A high or rising fee means shares are getting harder and more expensive to short, which is one of the conditions that can feed a squeeze.

MAN short interest FAQ

How much of MAN is sold short right now?+

About 2,227,358 shares of ManpowerGroup Inc are currently sold short, which is roughly 20.00% of the float. At recent trading volume that would take around 4.10 days to buy back. Exchanges publish this figure twice a month, so it moves in steps rather than continuously.

What does the MAN squeeze score mean?+

It is a single reading from 0 to 100, with 50 as the middle of the pack, that blends short interest, float, days to cover, the borrow fee and a few other signals. MAN currently sits at 48.00, which we read as moderate squeeze risk. A higher score means a more crowded setup, not a promise that the stock will squeeze.

Is short volume the same as short interest?+

No, and it is a common mix up. Short interest counts open short positions at a settlement date and updates twice a month. Short volume counts shares traded short on a single day and updates daily. A stock can show heavy short volume from routine market making without its open short interest going up at all.

What are fails to deliver?+

They are shares that did not change hands by the settlement date, reported by the SEC on a delay. The number is a running balance on a given date, not a daily count, so you should not add it up across dates. Fails happen for many ordinary reasons and are not on their own a sign of anything improper.

What does the borrow fee tell me?+

It is the yearly rate a short seller pays to borrow the stock, and MAN is near 42.27% right now. When the fee is high and shares are hard to find, shorting gets expensive and harder to hold, which is one of the ingredients that can feed a squeeze.

How often does this data update?+

It depends on the source. Official short interest lands twice a month, FINRA short volume every trading day, SEC fails to deliver about two weeks late, and borrow figures through the day. Each section on this page shows its own as of date so you can see how fresh it is.

This page is for education and is not investment advice. Short interest, short volume, fails to deliver and borrow figures come from separate reporting systems with different as of dates and methods, and none of them on its own proves any wrongdoing or predicts where the price will go. Numbers can differ from other sites because of how float is measured, when each source reports, which venues are covered, and corporate actions like splits. Always do your own research and talk to a licensed financial advisor before you trade.
