Top 5 Most Shorted Stocks on June 25, 2026
2. GRPN — Squeeze Score 66
GRPN leads the board on the strength of its short interest, with 56.3% of the free float sold short and float utilization at 70.9% — meaning the available borrow is already heavily consumed. The borrow fee is cheap at 1.4% and days to cover sits at 5.8, but the stock is already running, up 38.2% over five days at $22.91. This is a high-crowding, tight-availability setup: if borrow availability tightens further against a 70.9% utilization base, late shorts face rising recall risk even with a low headline fee.
3. GETY — Squeeze Score 62.4
GETY is the board's extreme hard-to-borrow name. Short interest is modest at 17.9% of float, but the borrow fee is 215.2% annualized — a cost so high it implies almost no lendable supply — and the stock is up 65.7% over five days at $0.9552. Days to cover is 6.7. This is a pure cost-of-carry squeeze profile: shorts are bleeding daily regardless of price, and if the borrow stays this expensive, the position becomes uneconomical to hold, forcing covering on its own.
5. RH — Squeeze Score 57
RH carries the highest short interest on the entire board at 60.5% of float, yet its borrow fee is only 0.3% and float utilization is 41.1%. Days to cover is 6.7 and the stock is up 17.9% at $159.92. This is the crowded, easy-to-borrow profile — the opposite of GETY. Cheap borrow keeps shorts comfortable, so the squeeze mechanic here depends on a price catalyst forcing simultaneous covering against an extremely crowded book rather than on rising carrying costs.
6. CRMT — Squeeze Score 50.3
CRMT pairs a moderate 24.1% short interest with the highest days-to-cover among the top names at 17.6, meaning shorts would need more than three weeks of average volume to exit. The borrow fee is 10.3%, float utilization is 33.7%, and momentum is the strongest on the board at +71.5%, with the stock at $3.70. The illiquid-exit profile is the story: a 17.6 days-to-cover figure leaves no room to unwind quickly, so any sustained bid can outpace the available volume shorts need to cover into.
7. LCID — Squeeze Score 49.3
LCID combines a high 35.9% short interest with a 58.2% borrow fee, the second-most-expensive on the board, at a $5.14 price. Float utilization is 33.6% and five-day momentum is roughly flat at -0.4%. Days to cover is low at 3.5, so shorts can exit quickly if they choose. The pressure here is the fee, not the exit window: holding the short costs 58.2% annualized, and if a positive catalyst forces covering before the fee can be amortized, the low days-to-cover cuts both ways by accelerating a rush for the same shares.
Highest Borrow Fees on June 25, 2026
Stock-loan cost is concentrated in a handful of names today. GETY's 215.2% fee dwarfs the field, followed by LCID at 58.2%, BYND at 45.8%, and CRMT at 10.3%. IBRX is the only other name above 2% at 2.7%. Every remaining stock in the top 25 borrows for under 1.5%, which is why the high-short-interest mega-caps like RH (0.3%) and CLSK (0.4%) score on crowding rather than carrying cost.
Stocks Flagged on the FINRA Threshold List
The "T" column marks names on the FINRA threshold list — symbols where more than 50% of recent volume printed short-side on the FINRA Consolidated NMS daily short-volume file over the last seven trading days. It signals sustained, heavy short pressure rather than a single-day spike. Today 24 of the 25 ranked names are flagged; only NTLA is not. Full scoring detail lives at /methodology/short-squeeze-score.
How the Squeeze Score Is Built
The Tapeboard squeeze score weights five inputs: 35% short interest as a percentage of float (FINRA), 25% borrow fee (IBKR stock-loan availability), 20% float utilization, 15% days to cover, and 5% five-day price momentum (Schwab). Short-interest and threshold data originate with FINRA filings, and corporate float figures derive from SEC disclosures. The weighting deliberately rewards crowding and cost-to-borrow over raw price action, which is why a low-momentum name can still rank highly. The complete breakdown is at /methodology/short-squeeze-score.
