Short Shares Availability

GME / GameStop Corp. short shares availability is shown in the following table. This table shows the number of shares of US:GME available to be shorted at a leading prime brokerage. It is not the total number of shares available to short, nor is it the short interest.

The higher this number is, the lower the short interest is likely to be.
