Deckers Outdoor saw a 26.7% increase in short interest during February. Total shorted shares reached 3.85 million as of February 13. This volume represents approximately 2.7% of the company's outstanding shares.
Data reported on March 3, 2026, indicates a growing bearish outlook among market participants. This trend coincided with several insider stock sales recorded in mid-February.
The recent bearish momentum contrasts with lagging institutional data. American Century Companies Inc. increased its position in Deckers by 21.6% during the third quarter. Despite that prior accumulation, the sharp rise in short interest suggests a notable shift in investor positioning.
