How do you feel about REFR?

$REFR Here's my take on what is transpiring in the trading and why. On Friday, the short interest reported to FINRA was 31.44 million (31,444,709). This amount is staggering considering it is nearly equivalent to the company's entire available supply of tradable shares. Research Frontiers Incorporated has approximately 34.87 million (34,867,786) shares outstanding. The short position exceeds the official public float, short sellers are in a tight corner where they can't cover without triggering a massive price spike. These large short positions must actively defend specific overhead resistance levels. When positive catalysts hit the wire—such as Friday's news regarding Gauzy's court-approved restructuring—and buying pressure builds on Monday, they are forced to counter demand by aggressively "shorting into the strength." This defensive selling creates a mechanical ceiling on the stock, absorbing buy orders to lock the price into a narrow trading range & prevent a runaway short squeeze.

$refr Just so everyone is clear on this: Refr has zero debt. It is Gauzy, their licensee, that had issues with debt, and they have been resolved. Refr has a low burn and working on the black particle that could put it on the map vs. the current blue particle. I has been a total POS but at current values some could make money from here.

$REFR Today was short sales from open to close. I have software that shows the "condition" for a specific trade. Here are screenshots of the last 1/2 hour of trading and you see on the right side of the screen the flag for each trade. In the next few posts I'll show you the analysis of the trading. I use AI because it can go through 3600 lines of data on my spreadsheet.

$REFR is entering an exciting phase as Gauzy’s restructuring clears the path for production to ramp back up, unlocking strong potential for renewed royalty growth as demand for SPD SmartGlass continues expanding across automotive, aviation, architecture and other major markets making REFR a compelling stock to watch as this recovery unfolds.

$REFR • Level 2 Multiple market makers are stacked tightly between 0.67–0.77 bid and 0.77–0.82 ask. • Notice GSCO, NSDQ, VIRT quoting both sides — that’s normal for market makers providing liquidity. • But when the same firms dominate both bid and ask with small sizes (1–20 shares) and identical timestamps, it signals algorithmic quote control rather than natural buyer/seller flow. • The clustering around 0.75–0.77 suggests they’re defending a price band — refreshing quotes to keep REFR pinned.

$REFR I would not worry about the pull back. Today’s news is real and is a big deal!! Read below if you’re interested in knowing why it matters so much. REFR only licenses the technology and collects royalties, so it depends on Gauzy, which had been restructuring in France, Israel and Germany. That restructuring cut SPD film production and royalty collections. At one point production essentially stopped, workers went unpaid, and customers were supplied from existing inventory. Without Gauzy, REFR's fallback was patching together another film coater, which would have meant a slow requalification process. Today removes that risk. Management also says the company didn't lose its automotive qualifications, development pipeline or customer interest during the disruption, so the business should be able to restart rather than rebuild.

$REFR On June 2, 2026, Nasdaq issued formal deficiency notices to Research Frontiers for FAILING to maintain: • the $1.00 minimum bid price (Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)) AND • the $35 million Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) requirement over 30 consecutive business days. Minimum bid requirement is easily fixed with reverse split. But that’s just part of the story. THE REAL DELISTING RISK is the absolute requirement of an MVLS of at least $35 million for at least 10 consecutive business days prior to November 30, 2026. Current MLVS after Friday Sept 18th blast up is 20M or so. I predict REFR won’t make it to $35 million, will get sold with $$$ for Joe to consult and transition.
