The Top 5 Squeeze Candidates on May 14, 2026
1. ENVB — Squeeze Score 100
ENVB ($2.17) carries a 287.5% annualized borrow fee — by far the highest cost-to-borrow on the board and roughly two orders of magnitude above the next name. Short interest sits at 45.7% of float, float utilization is 47.9%, and days to cover is just 0.09 thanks to extreme recent volume. Five-day momentum is -27.8%. This is a punished micro-cap setup where shorts are paying close to triple-digit annualized carry to stay short; any tightening of available borrow or a sharp reversal would compound covering pressure fast.
2. GRPN — Squeeze Score 87.9
GRPN ($17.20) has the board's highest short interest at 59.2% of float, 56.5% float utilization, and 6.7 days to cover at a still-cheap 1.0% borrow fee. Five-day momentum is +11.0%. The setup is a rising name where the squeeze trigger is positioning, not carry cost — shorts are not yet being punished, but the SI is dense enough that a continued uptrend forces incremental covering and lifts borrow demand into a thinning loan pool.
4. RH — Squeeze Score 72.5
RH ($127.26) prints 55.8% short interest, 34.0% float utilization, just 0.37% borrow fee, and 3.2 days to cover. The setup is a deeply shorted mid-cap retailer where the squeeze risk is the SI itself, not the loan market. With days-to-cover that low, an upside catalyst that forces covering would have to clear a large short book through compressed liquidity — exactly the asymmetry that defines a textbook squeeze.
5. CLSK — Squeeze Score 70.1
CLSK ($13.94) shows 49.5% short interest, 36.4% float utilization, 4.5 days to cover, a 0.32% borrow fee, and flat 5-day momentum. Threshold-listed. Borrow is cheap, so shorts aren't being squeezed by carry — they're squeezed by tape. A rip in the underlying bitcoin complex would catalyze covering across the miner cohort, and CLSK's SI density is the largest in that group.
6. RXRX — Squeeze Score 66.2
RXRX ($3.05) shows 34.2% short interest, 33.4% float utilization, a still-modest 0.92% borrow fee, and 15.0 days to cover. Five-day momentum is -7.0%. The squeeze risk here is structural — the short position is large relative to liquidity. If a pipeline or partnership update forces covering, that 15-day cover figure means the unwind won't clear in a single session.
Stocks Flagged on the FINRA Threshold List
The T column marks symbols on the FINRA Consolidated NMS daily short-volume file where short-sale executions accounted for more than 50% of consolidated reported volume across the last seven trading days. It is not a direct measure of short interest — it measures whether shorts are doing the bulk of the trading day after day. Twenty-two of today's top 25 names carry the flag.
