Short selling data is four days behind today's date because reporting is not mandatory until three business days after the trade. The tables below will compare: - Week-on-week changes between 22 and 29 June 2026 - Month-on-month changes between 1 and 29 June 2026 - Most covered and rising short tables record week-on-week changes of ~0.5% or more Most Shorted No major changes among the top shorted stocks. Lotus Resources has remained halted since 17 June while it works through equity and funding options, after its Kayelekera project was forced to pause production due to acid supply shortages and acid plant repair work. The delay pushes back the company's production timeline and threatens its ability to meet initial offtake obligations, where maximum liabilities for 2026 sit at $10 million. | Ticker | Company | Short % | Week-on-Week | Month-on-Month | | ------ | -------------------------- | ------- | ------------ | -------------- | | LOT | Lotus Resources | 22.82% | 0.01% | 2.92% | | DMP | Domino's Pizza | 13.94% | -0.39% | -1.30% | | BOE | Boss Energy | 13.63% | -0.10% | -0.37% | | TLX | Telix Pharmaceuticals | 12.23% | -0.69% | -2.85% | | DRO | Droneshield | 11.74% | -0.73% | 0.33% | | PDN | Paladin Energy | 11.55% | 0.20% | 0.85% | | CAR | CAR Group | 11.53% | -0.67% | 0.35% | | FLT | Flight Centre Travel Group | 11.42% | -0.07% | 0.65% | | TWE | Treasury Wine Estates | 11.07% | -0.31% | -1.86% | | 4DX | 4DMedical | 10.96% | -0.09% | 0.41% | Rising Shorts Iluka saw a jump in short interest after announcing its first Eneabba offtake agreement, a deal with a global automotive manufacturer for 1,200 tonnes over four years from 2028. The stock rallied 5.7% intraday (23-Jun) before closing 10.8% lower. Despite a floor price guaranteeing minimum revenue of $155 million, analysts were mixed about the pricing. The disclosed floor of ~$95/kg for NdPr sits below the ~$110/kg benchmark from comparable deals by Lynas and MP Materials. Some read this as tougher commercial negotiations with end-users versus taxpayer-funded transactions, but others saw pricing falling short of expectations and pointed to potential structural discounts to wider market rates. | Ticker | Company | Short % | Week-on-Week | Month-on-Month | | ------ | ------------------------------ | ------- | ------------ | -------------- | | ILU | Iluka Resources | 8.18% | 1.36% | 0.70% | | EOS | Electro Optic Systems Holdings | 4.71% | 1.23% | 1.40% | | ALX | Atlas Arteria | 3.73% | 1.03% | 2.63% | | HLI | Helia Group | 2.23% | 0.94% | 1.28% | | VUL | Vulcan Energy Resources | 6.25% | 0.54% | 1.75% | | JBH | JB Hi-Fi | 3.23% | 0.54% | 1.25% | Most Covered A long list of stocks saw a pullback in bearish bets, though the moves were sporadic with few shared themes or catalysts. Names like Generation Development, IPH, Resolute Mining and Beach Energy have all seen 10-15% pullbacks in recent weeks. Inghams eased despite flagging the detection of avian influenza in Australia, noting it had moved to heightened biosecurity vigilance and locked down all its WA farms and processing operations to mitigate potential risks, a move that implies higher costs. | Ticker | Company | Short % | Week-on-Week | Month-on-Month | | ------ | ------------------------------ | ------- | ------------ | -------------- | | GDG | Generation Development Group | 6.29% | -2.90% | -3.26% | | IPH | IPH | 8.80% | -1.11% | 0.20% | | ING | Inghams Group | 6.35% | -1.11% | -1.59% | | RSG | Resolute Mining | 1.66% | -0.96% | 0.77% | | ZIP | Zip | 9.63% | -0.96% | -1.04% | | NCK | Nick Scali | 4.12% | -0.87% | 0.41% | | MIN | Mineral Resources | 3.98% | -0.84% | -0.11% | | BPT | Beach Energy | 8.99% | -0.82% | -0.52% | | RWC | Reliance Worldwide Corporation | 2.65% | -0.82% | 0.04% | | CHN | Chalice Mining | 3.36% | -0.76% | -0.61% | | DRO | Droneshield | 11.74% | -0.73% | 0.33% | | CTT | Cettire | 1.01% | -0.71% | -1.16% | | SDR | Siteminder | 4.77% | -0.70% | -2.45% | | TLX | Telix Pharmaceuticals | 12.23% | -0.69% | -2.85% | | CAR | CAR Group | 11.53% | -0.67% | 0.35% | | EDV | Endeavour Group | 9.92% | -0.61% | -0.29% | | WHC | Whitehaven Coal | 1.43% | -0.51% | -0.45% | | ACF | Acrow | 0.42% | -0.51% | -0.20% | | HLS | Healius | 10.27% | -0.50% | 0.70% | ### Related Stocks - [LOT.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LOT.AU.md) - [ILU.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ILU.AU.md) - [ING.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ING.AU.md) - [GDG.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GDG.AU.md) - [DMP.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DMP.AU.md) - [BOE.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BOE.AU.md) - [TLX.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TLX.AU.md) - [DRO.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DRO.AU.md) - [PDN.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/PDN.AU.md) - [CAR.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CAR.AU.md) - [FLT.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FLT.AU.md) - [TWE.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TWE.AU.md) - [4DX.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/4DX.AU.md) - [EOS.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EOS.AU.md) - [ALX.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ALX.AU.md) - [HLI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HLI.US.md) - [VUL.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VUL.AU.md) - [JBH.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JBH.AU.md) - [LYC.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LYC.AU.md) - [MP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MP.US.md) - [IPH.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IPH.AU.md) - [RSG.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RSG.AU.md) - [ZIP.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ZIP.US.md) - [NCK.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NCK.AU.md) - [MIN.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MIN.AU.md) - [BPT.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BPT.AU.md) - [RWC.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/RWC.AU.md) - [CHN.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CHN.AU.md) - [CTT.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CTT.AU.md) - [EDV.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/EDV.AU.md) - [WHC.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/WHC.AU.md) - [ACF.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ACF.AU.md) - [HLS.AU](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HLS.AU.md) - [TLX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TLX.US.md) - [LYSDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/LYSDY.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Generation Development Group (ASX:GDG) Shares Drift As FUM Strength Meets Thin Margins](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297367023.md) - [Inghams Group Limited Just Missed EPS By 40%: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296830680.md) - [The 10 most overbought and oversold ASX 200 stocks – Week 36](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297466438.md) - [Joyce (ASX:JYC) Shares Reflect Rising Margins And A Deeper Value Gap](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297517364.md) - [Director transactions explained: What those ASX filings really tell investors](https://longbridge.com/en/news/297969056.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
