Short Interest Surges for Domino's Pizza and Linde PLC in March

Domino's Pizza (DPZ) and Linde PLC (LIN) experienced a significant surge in short interest during March, signaling growing bearish sentiment among investors. Short interest for Domino's Pizza jumped by 25.9%, now representing 10.3% of the company's total outstanding shares. Similarly, Linde PLC saw a 27.1% increase in short positions, a move that contrasts with the 'Buy' ratings maintained by many analysts. This rise in bearish bets against Linde coincided with substantial insider selling, as top executives offloaded millions of dollars worth of shares.
