VALValaris Limited
What is the market doing?
No clear lean: nothing decisive, though in an uptrend.
In an uptrend, above its rising 50- and 200-day averages. Price is +2% vs its 200-day average.
Heavily shorted, settled Sep 15, 2026, about a week of normal trading to cover. Down 7.9% since the previous count, down from 9.8% 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.
