Edible Garden AG saw short interest rise sharply in January, reaching 368,601 shares as of January 15, up 112.0% from the 173,836 shares reported at the end of December. With an average daily trading volume of 5,605,668 shares, the short-interest ratio stands at just 0.1 days, and short positions now represent approximately 7.2% of the company’s outstanding shares. This marked uptick signals growing bearish sentiment among traders and could increase volatility in the stock as positions are covered or expanded.

At its January 30 announcement, Edible Garden detailed a reverse stock split at a 1-for-10 ratio, effective 12:01 a.m. ET on February 3. The measure, approved by shareholders in September 2025 within a 1-for-5 to 1-for-25 range, is intended to satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and bolster trading liquidity. Post-split, outstanding shares will be proportionately adjusted, exercise prices and share counts under warrants and equity awards will be recalibrated, and any fractional shares rounded up, while authorized share count and par value will remain unchanged.

In its most recent quarter ending November 14, Edible Garden reported a loss per share of $1.38, missing consensus estimates by $0.87, on revenue of $2.82 million versus expectations of $3.88 million. The company’s return on equity was a negative 1,078.8%, with a net margin of –115.4%. Financial ratios include a current ratio of 0.80, quick ratio of 0.51 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.24. On January 21, Weiss Ratings reaffirmed its sell (e+) recommendation, leaving Edible Garden with an average analyst rating of Sell; this stance reflects ongoing concerns about profitability and capital structure.
