Key risks (from latest filing)
["History of significant operating losses and negative cash flow with no assurance of future profitability.","Requirement for additional capital to fund operations and execute the business plan, which could result in shareholder dilution.","Reliance on success in emerging, highly competitive markets for lidar and perception technologies."]
Insider activity (SEC Form 4)
No open-market insider purchases or sales are on record for MVIS — recent Form 4 activity was compensation-related (awards, option exercises, or tax withholding), not open-market buying or selling.
View full insider trading history → View SEC Form 3/4/5 filingsOnly open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.
Institutional ownership (13F)
4 institutional 13F filers reported holding MVIS as of 2026-03-31 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 4
- Reported shares held 30,997,250
- Reported value $19,875,437
reported quarterly holdings change (2025-12-31 → 2026-03-31): 0 new, 4 increased, 0 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade.

Short interest (FINRA)
MVIS had 6,200,756 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-30 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
MVIS had 26.1% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-30 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 4.32 days to cover at the same settlement.
- Reported short interest (shares) 6,200,756
- Short interest (% of shares outstanding) 26.1%
- Prior settlement (shares) 5,689,036
- Reported change 8.99%
- Days to cover (reported) 4.32
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-30 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
