Industrial dividend stocks with highest float
short ratio originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Today I like to discover
the industrial goods sector by stocks with the highest float short ratio. The figure
shows the amount of short selling transactions. In order to exclude stocks with a damaged business model or higher risk, I observe only companies with a market capitalization above the USD 2 billion mark and positive dividend payments. The dividend payments are not necessary but they are focus of my blog. Dividend stocks are less often shorted.
The 20 top results have a float short ratio between
4.0 and 17.44 percent. Industrials are not popular for short selling compared to stocks from the financial sector. Lennar, the
residential construction firm, is the highest shorted company on the list.
