Most Shorted Stocks Today: June 30, 2026 — Top 25 Squeeze Candidates
On June 30, 2026, Groupon (GRPN) tops Tapeboard's most-shorted leaderboard with a squeeze score of 85 and short interest at 70.3% of float, leading a top 25 where every name is flagged on the FINRA threshold list.
On June 30, 2026, Groupon (GRPN) tops Tapeboard's most shorted stocks board with a squeeze score of 85, built on short interest equal to 70.3% of its free float and 8.29 days to cover. Today's board is defined by threshold concentration — all 25 names below are flagged for sustained short-volume pressure — and by a fee spike at the extremes, where three names carry a borrow fee above 55%. For traders screening short squeeze candidates, the signal today is heavy, persistent short-side pressure rather than a single crowded mega-cap.

Top 5 Most Shorted Stocks on June 30, 2026
2. GRPN — Squeeze Score 85
GRPN leads by a wide margin, with 70.3% of its float sold short, 8.29 days to cover, and a 43.6% five-day move at $24. Notably, the borrow fee is still cheap at 1.8% — shorts are not yet paying to hold this position, which means the pressure valve is float mechanics, not carry cost. With more than two-thirds of the float committed short and eight days of average volume needed to unwind, the exit is narrow: if a positive catalyst forces covering, buy-side demand meets a thin available float.
4. ELF — Squeeze Score 64.9
ELF pairs high short interest of 49.9% of float with a very low 0.4% borrow fee and just 2.57 days to cover at $73. This is a high-SI, high-liquidity setup: nearly half the float is short, but shorts can exit in under three sessions and pay almost nothing to wait. A squeeze here would require a sharp, unexpected catalyst that outruns that quick-cover cushion — momentum is already positive at 16.6%.
5. LCID — Squeeze Score 62.5
LCID is the first genuine high-fee name on the board: 38.2% of float short, a 55.1% borrow fee, 4.26 days to cover, and a 28.9% five-day run at $6.58. Unlike GRPN, shorts here are bleeding carry every day the position stays open. If borrow availability tightens further and the fee climbs, the cost of maintaining the short forces mechanical covering independent of any news.
6. BYND — Squeeze Score 61.2
BYND carries the highest fee among the top five — 78.7% annualized — against 29.5% of float short and 3.91 days to cover at a sub-dollar $0.7589. This is a classic expensive-borrow, tight-availability profile: short interest is not extreme, but the punishing carry cost does the work. At this price and fee, even a modest coordinated bid can make holding the short untenable.
7. CHWY — Squeeze Score 58.5
CHWY shows 46.5% of float short with a low 0.4% borrow fee and just 2.37 days to cover at $19.69. Like ELF, it is a high-SI, low-friction name: heavy short positioning but cheap and fast to exit. The squeeze mechanic depends on a catalyst compressing that cover window faster than shorts can react, since neither fee nor days-to-cover is doing the pressuring right now.
Stocks Flagged on the FINRA Threshold List
Every name in today's top 25 carries a T. In Tapeboard's table, T marks a symbol showing sustained heavy short pressure on the FINRA Consolidated NMS daily short-volume file — meaning more than 50% of recent trading volume printed on the short side within the last seven trading days. A single day above that line is noise; the FINRA threshold flag only fires when the pressure persists. See /methodology/short-squeeze-score for the full flag definition.
How the Tapeboard Squeeze Score Is Built
The Tapeboard squeeze score weights five inputs: 35% short interest as a percentage of float (FINRA), 25% borrow fee (IBKR), 20% float utilization, 15% days to cover, and 5% five-day price momentum (Schwab). Short-sale and threshold data come from FINRA and SEC filings; stock-loan cost and availability come from IBKR; recent price and volume come from Schwab. The full weighting breakdown lives at /methodology/short-squeeze-score.
