What the filing actually says.
This dataset supports only a limited reading of Huntington Bancshares. It contains two annual series, revenues and net income, covering fiscal years 2018 through 2025, and nothing else. No forensic scores are on file, so this synthesis does not assign or interpret a Beneish M-Score, Piotroski F-Score, Altman Z-Score, or Fog Index, and readers should not infer any of them from the figures here. The eight-year pattern is uneven. Revenues fell from $939 million in 2019-FY to $884 million in 2020-FY, while net income dropped more sharply, from $1.41 billion to $817 million over the same period. Both lines then recovered, with revenues reaching $1.11 billion in 2021-FY and net income reaching $1.29 billion. Net income peaked at $2.24 billion in 2022-FY, then declined to $1.95 billion in 2023-FY before rising again to $2.21 billion in 2025-FY. Because the data includes no MD&A, no segment information, no debt or regulatory disclosures, and no legal matters, the drivers behind these swings cannot be named from this file. The most useful next step for a reader is to open the company's annual report and compare the income statement line items against the figures shown here, paying particular attention to how the revenue measure is defined, the reasons management gives for the 2020 and 2023 declines, and the risk factors section, which is not included in this data.
Catalyst.The provided data contains no MD&A text, so management's own explanation of what is driving the business is not available here. The reported figures show revenues rising from $1.32 billion in 2022-FY to $1.56 billion in 2025-FY, with the latest year up about 6.1% from $1.47 billion in 2024-FY. Net income rose from $1.94 billion in 2024-FY to $2.21 billion in 2025-FY, an increase of about 13.9%, after falling from $2.24 billion in 2022-FY to $1.95 billion in 2023-FY. Readers may want to look at the MD&A in the company's annual report to see what management attributes these changes to.
Hidden risk.The most visible tension in the data is that reported net income exceeds reported revenues in every fiscal year provided, for example $2.21 billion of net income against $1.56 billion of revenues in 2025-FY. This gap may reflect how the revenue line is tagged or defined in the XBRL data rather than a literal comparison of the two figures, but a casual reader could take it at face value. Readers may want to check the income statement and the filing's own definition of total revenue before drawing conclusions. Without risk-factor text, this dataset cannot identify the risks the company itself discloses.

What it tells us
Few traders are betting against HBAN. Levels this low are common for large, widely held companies.
Little changed since the Aug 31 report (+6.6%).
At normal trading volume, short sellers could buy back every borrowed share in under two days.
How investors use it
- Squeeze watching. Some aggressive traders seek out heavily shorted stocks, betting that good news will force short sellers to buy back shares and push the price higher.
- Hedging. Funds short one company to offset risk in another, often owning a stronger business and shorting a weaker one in the same industry.
- Timing. Chart-based traders pair rising short interest with price patterns, such as a break below a level where buyers used to step in, to decide when to enter or exit.
- Warning sign. Some owners treat a sharp rise in short interest as a red flag and respond by tightening stop-loss orders or holding smaller positions.
