Heron Therapeutics, Blink Charging and Beyond Meat highlighted for short interest

The list pairs heavily shorted names with recent sharp moves, suggesting continued volatility as investors weigh downtrends and potential reversals.

Benzinga highlighted several high short interest stocks it says have shown volatility and been in downtrends, while noting that some names have also surged and may be late for long positions.

Among the companies cited were Heron Therapeutics Inc., which focuses on acute care and oncology treatments, and Blink Charging Co., an EV charging equipment and networked services provider.

Benzinga also pointed to Beyond Meat Inc., which develops plant based meat substitutes, as part of its roundup of stocks where traders use short interest as a gauge for downside positioning.

The outlet did not provide specific performance figures in the excerpt, but framed the theme as diversification through short positions, with some stocks already down by 50% and viewed as potentially offering further downside.
