On trading days, this data is updated from 7am ET, before the markets open, and continues to be updated until 5am ET the following day. Stock Lending is not restricted to market trading times and may take place in a different timezone than the primary listing of the company. It is quite normal that some transactions are booked and may be cancelled or closed unfulfilled later in the day, or overnight. All changes will be consolidated in the end-of-day data that is released before the US markets open every morning. This end-of-day data will also contain information from some securities lenders that do not report data live throughout the day.
