Short interest data is often incomplete and reported with a lag, making it difficult to understand current market positioning. Equilend gives corporate issuers a daily view of short interest, borrow demand, and squeeze risk in their own securities and their competitors’, built from live securities finance transactions across 50+ global markets. Track what the institutional lending market is doing in your name before the next earnings call, secondary offering, or corporate action.
Challenge 1
Orbisa lets corporate issuers track short interest, borrow demand, and financing rates across the global marketplace. When short interest builds across your sector ahead of an earnings season, or a peer's borrow cost spikes, that is market intelligence you can bring to your board and your investor relations team. Coverage spans 50+ global markets and 226,000+ unique securities.
Challenge 2
Orbisa covers securities finance activity across asset classes, including fixed income, and is the only securities finance data product with fixed income coverage on Bloomberg. Corporate issuers can track borrow demand and short positioning in their bonds alongside their equity, giving treasury and investor relations teams a fuller picture of how the market is positioned across their capital structure.
Challenge 3
Equilend's Short Squeeze Score is a daily 0-to-100 metric that flags how vulnerable a security is to a short squeeze. It combines three signals: market dynamics such as price and volume anomalies, securities finance data such as liquidity pressure and rising borrow costs, and social sentiment from social media monitoring. For a corporate issuer, it is an early read on retail-driven risk in your own name, updated every day rather than twice a month.
Equilend helps corporate issuers gain greater visibility into securities finance activity, supporting more informed decisions through market intelligence, connected workflows, and trusted digital infrastructure.
Orbisa is Equilend's buy-side securities finance intelligence platform. For corporate issuers, it shows short interest, borrow demand, financing rates, and the percentage of float out on loan in your own securities and your competitors'. It's curated from Equilend's trading data across 50+ global markets. Data reaches you through a web UI, API, Excel add-in, and Bloomberg.
Predicted Short Interest replaces publicly reported data with a daily estimate of short interest in any U.S. equity. It is built from live securities finance transactions, trained on more than 10 years of data, and delivered with a high and low range.
The Short Squeeze Score is a daily 0-to-100 metric that measures how exposed a security is to a short squeeze. It integrates market dynamics, securities finance data, and social sentiment into a single number, giving corporate issuers an early warning of retail-driven volatility in their stock.
Orbisa on Bloomberg brings the full Orbisa dataset into the Bloomberg Launchpad at the security level. Corporate teams can view predicted short interest, short squeeze risk, borrow demand, and financing rates for their own securities directly within Bloomberg.
