Assuming this Fintel data is correct, the short float and days to cover has gone up near 30% in the last couple days:

[https://fintel.io/ss/us/pacb](https://fintel.io/ss/us/pacb)

|Short Interest|59,926,798 shares - source: NASDAQ|
|:-|:-|
|Short Interest Ratio|14.38 Days to Cover|
|Short Interest % Float|19.75 % - source: NASDAQ (short interest), Capital IQ (float)|

The other day this was like \~45M shares and \~10 days to cover, with the float around \~15% .

Not giving any advice, what should be the take away here, if anything?
