The Top 5 Most Shorted Stocks on June 26, 2026
2. GRPN — Squeeze Score 72.3
GRPN leads the board with 56.3% short interest, a borrow fee of just 1.9%, days to cover of 5.8, and float utilization at 70.9% — meaning roughly seven of every ten freely tradable shares are already lent out and held short. This is a high-SI, tight-float setup amplified by +39.6% 5-day momentum at a $22.34 price. The borrow is still cheap, so the pressure point is availability: if lendable supply tightens and the fee starts climbing, shorts facing rising momentum would have a narrowing window to cover.
4. GETY — Squeeze Score 66.0
GETY is the classic high-fee, sub-dollar name: an annualized borrow fee of 215.2% against modest short interest of 17.9% and float utilization of only 8.1%. At a $0.93 price with +54.1% 5-day momentum and 6.7 days to cover, the cost-of-carry alone is punishing for anyone holding the short. This setup squeezes through economics rather than crowding — if the fee stays this elevated, the daily bleed pressures shorts to close regardless of thesis.
5. RH — Squeeze Score 62.8
RH carries the highest short interest on the entire board at 60.5% of float, yet its borrow fee sits at a near-trivial 0.3%, with 6.7 days to cover and 41.1% float utilization at a $158.7 price. This is a high-SI large-cap setup where the crowding is extreme but the carry cost is negligible, so shorts have no economic urgency to exit. The catalyst here is mechanical: with momentum only +7.4%, any positive surprise that forces covering would meet a very heavily shorted book and thin near-term exit liquidity.
6. LCID — Squeeze Score 57.8
LCID pairs a steep 63.3% borrow fee with 35.9% short interest, the lowest days to cover among the top five at 3.5, and 33.6% float utilization at a $5.84 price. The low days-to-cover means the short book could theoretically clear quickly, but the expensive borrow makes holding costly while momentum runs +10.4%. A high-fee EV name like this squeezes when carry cost and a rising tape combine to make staying short more painful than covering into strength.
7. NTLA — Squeeze Score 54.6
NTLA shows 43.8% short interest, a cheap 0.4% borrow fee, and 6.5 days to cover at a $16.61 price, with 36.2% float utilization. Notably, its 5-day momentum is null in today's data and it is one of only two names not carrying the threshold flag. This is a high-SI biotech setup without the recent price thrust or sustained threshold pressure of the names above it — the short crowding is real, but the trigger would have to come from a catalyst forcing covering rather than from borrow economics or momentum already in motion.
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 — specifically, more than 50% of recent trading volume printed on the short side within the last seven trading days. Today 22 of 24 ranked names carry it; only NTLA and CLSK do not. A threshold flag is a signal of persistent short-side participation, not a guarantee of a reversal. Full criteria are in the /methodology/short-squeeze-score breakdown.
How the Tapeboard Squeeze Score Is Built
The squeeze score weights 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 momentum (Schwab). Short-interest and threshold data trace to FINRA and SEC filings; stock-loan availability and fee data come from IBKR. The weighting is deliberately tilted toward crowding and carry cost over short-term price action — see /methodology/short-squeeze-score for the full formula.
