TACTransAlta Corporation
What is the market doing?
No clear lean: rangebound and moderately shorted.
Choppy, but holding above its 200-day average. Price is +2% vs its 200-day average.
Moderately shorted, settled Sep 15, 2026, about a week of normal trading to cover. Up 18% since the previous count, up from 1.9% of shares outstanding three months ago.
Where this answer is blind. Insider selling is often routine (taxes, diversification); only cluster buying is a strong tell.
