Most Shorted Stocks Today: June 24, 2026 — Top 25 Squeeze Candidates
On June 24, 2026, Groupon (GRPN) is the most shorted stock on Tapeboard's leaderboard with a squeeze score of 64.1 and short interest at 56.3% of float, leading a board dominated by FINRA threshold-flagged names and a few high-borrow-fee shorts.
On June 24, 2026, Groupon (GRPN) tops Tapeboard's most shorted stocks leaderboard with a squeeze score of 64.1, powered by short interest equal to 56.3% of its free float and float utilization of 64.6%. The board skews toward names carrying very high short interest rather than punishing borrow costs — only LCID at a 33.3% borrow fee and BYND at 25.9% carry truly expensive borrows — while 23 of the top 25 sit on the FINRA threshold list, a sign of sustained short-side volume across the tape. Average days to cover runs from under three sessions to more than twenty, leaving wide room for a short squeeze if covering accelerates on any of these names.

Top 5 Most Shorted Stocks on June 24, 2026
2. GRPN — Squeeze Score 64.1
GRPN leads the board on the strength of short interest at 56.3% of float and float utilization of 64.6% — nearly two-thirds of the available float is already lent out and held short. The borrow stays cheap at 1.3%, days to cover is a moderate 5.75, and the stock has firmed 6.1% over five sessions at $18.65. This is a high-SI, high-utilization setup where the constraint is supply: if borrow availability tightens further, shorts face a thin pool to roll into, and any forced covering would meet a crowded exit.
4. RH — Squeeze Score 59.9
RH carries the single highest short interest on the board at 60.5% of float, paired with a low 0.3% borrow fee, 6.65 days to cover, and 41.1% float utilization at a price of $154.70. Five-day momentum is positive at 6.6%. This is a high-conviction short on a triple-digit mid-cap where cheap borrow keeps the position easy to hold — the squeeze mechanic here is a positive catalyst that forces covering faster than the 6.65-day cover window allows shorts to exit in order.
6. CRMT — Squeeze Score 51.7
CRMT stands out for cost and momentum rather than raw SI: short interest is 24.1% of float, but the borrow fee is an elevated 11.8% and days to cover is a steep 17.55 at $3.58. The 5-day move of 52.6% is the largest on the board. With shorts already paying double-digit annualized borrow and needing more than 17 sessions of average volume to cover, a continued grind higher compounds the carry cost — the kind of pressure that can turn an expensive short into an exit.
7. LCID — Squeeze Score 47.7
LCID carries the highest borrow fee on the board at 33.3%, with short interest at 35.9% of float, just 3.51 days to cover, and 33.6% float utilization at $5.19. Momentum is muted at 2.3%. The defining feature is cost: at 33.3% annualized, shorts bleed carry every day the thesis fails to play out, but the low 3.51-day cover window means the position can also be exited quickly. A squeeze here would need a catalyst sharp enough to overwhelm that fast cover capacity before shorts unwind in order.
8. ARCT — Squeeze Score 47.2
ARCT is a slow-burn setup: short interest is 29.5% of float, the borrow fee is cheap at 0.5%, but days to cover is a high 15.20 with float utilization of 25.8% at $7.01. Five-day momentum is slightly negative at -1.8%. With more than 15 sessions of average volume required to cover and a cheap borrow that lets shorts sit, the pressure point is liquidity — if volume spikes on a catalyst, the 15.20-day cover figure means shorts cannot exit quickly without moving the price against themselves.
Highest Borrow Fees on June 24, 2026
Most of today's board borrows cheaply, which concentrates the carry pressure in a handful of names. The standouts are LCID at 33.3%, BYND at 25.9%, CRMT at 11.8%, XRX at 6.0%, and OCGN at 2.9%. Everything else on the top 25 sits below 2% annualized — meaning for the bulk of these names, the squeeze case rests on short interest and float utilization rather than borrow cost forcing shorts out.
Stocks Flagged on the FINRA Threshold List
The T flag marks a symbol showing sustained heavy short pressure on the FINRA Consolidated NMS daily short-volume file — more than 50% of recent volume traded short-side within the last seven trading days. Today 23 of the top 25 carry the flag; only NTLA (43.8% SI) and PLAY (33.2% SI) do not. A T is not a price prediction — it is evidence that selling pressure has persistently come from the short side. See /methodology/short-squeeze-score for the full scoring breakdown.
How the Tapeboard Squeeze Score Is Built
The 0–100 squeeze score blends five inputs: 35% short interest as a percent of float (FINRA), 25% borrow fee (IBKR), 20% float utilization, 15% days to cover, and 5% 5-day price momentum (Schwab). Short interest and threshold status come from FINRA filings, borrow-cost and availability data from IBKR, recent price action from Schwab, and float and filing references from SEC data. The weighting favors structurally crowded shorts over momentum chasing — full methodology at /methodology/short-squeeze-score.
