Is Navitas Semiconductor Heavily Shorted?
"Days to cover" is the number of average trading days it would take shorts to buy back their position at recent volume. For NVTS, that’s currently 4.12 days against 9,772,466 shares of average daily volume. Days to cover above 3 is above-average short pressure for a liquid name, though comfortably below classic squeeze territory.
NVTS Short Interest in Context
Short interest is most useful read against the rest of the picture. Heavy shorting that lines up with insider selling and weakening Employee Business Outlook is a different story from heavy shorting with insider buying and a positive AI Score — the same number, very different setups.
The other signals on NVTS right now:
- NVTS AI Score — 52/100
- Reddit sentiment — 85/100 (bullish)
- Employee Business Outlook — 78% positive (positive)
Read together, this is a contrarian setup: short interest is elevated while the underlying signals lean bullish. When fundamentals and sentiment trend up against a heavily shorted name, the squeeze risk for the short side is asymmetric.

Navitas Semiconductor Short Interest: Frequently Asked Questions
Navitas Semiconductor has 40,298,381 shares short — about 15.35% of its shares outstanding as of Sep 15, 2026. This figure is the official biweekly short interest report, which lags the settlement date by about two weeks — the same convention every short-interest tracker uses. (Note: "% of shares outstanding" runs slightly below the "% of float" you may see on MarketBeat or Fintel, since float excludes insider-held and restricted shares.)
At 40,298,381 shares short and 9,772,466 shares of average daily volume, NVTS’s days-to-cover is 4.12. Days to cover above 3 is above-average short pressure for a liquid name, though comfortably below classic squeeze territory.
Short squeezes happen when heavily shorted stocks rally sharply, forcing shorts to buy back at higher prices. The classic warning signs are days-to-cover above ~5, rising short interest, and a catalyst that pushes price up. NVTS’s days-to-cover at 4.12 is below the classic ~5-day threshold. AltIndex tracks short interest alongside insider activity and sentiment — the same number reads very differently depending on what those other signals say.
The biweekly short interest figures come from NASDAQ’s official short interest report — the same source used by MarketBeat, Fintel, and Benzinga. The data is settlement-date-based, published twice a month, and lags about two weeks. For daily short-selling activity (a higher-frequency complement), see the short squeeze tracker.
