I honestly doubt there would be that much short activity going on with a stock like this, it's more just retail holders getting rattled and selling out.
Sucks for them, but with such volatility comes opportunity - Definitely expecting April to be a good month for AVZ, quite bullish on U.S. quarterly earnings too later in the month as well which should help.
