Groupon (GRPN) tops Tapeboard's short squeeze screener on July 10, 2026, scoring 59.9 on short interest equal to 70.3% of its float, a 1.5% borrow fee, and 8.3 days to cover. Twenty-three of the 25 names on today's board are flagged on the FINRA threshold list for sustained heavy short-side volume.

Highest Borrow Fees on July 10, 2026
Seven names on today's board carry a borrow fee above 5%: LCID (25.7%), BYND (21.8%), RUM (8.5%), CRMT (8.2%), SPCE (8.0%), OCGN (5.2%), and XRX (5.8%). Elevated fees like these are a direct read on how scarce loanable shares have become — brokers charge more to lend stock when demand from short sellers outpaces the available supply, and continued demand for those shares would push the fee higher still, raising the cost of staying short.
3. GRPN — Squeeze Score 59.9
GRPN carries the highest short interest percentage on today's board — 70.3% of the float is sold short, matching its float utilization reading of 70.3%. The borrow fee is a moderate 1.5%, and days to cover sits at 8.3, meaning shorts would need well over a week of average volume to fully unwind the position. Five-day momentum is already positive at +1.8%. This is a high-SI, moderate-fee setup — a squeeze here would most likely be driven by continued price strength or a volume spike that outpaces the current 8.3-day cover window, rather than by a spike in borrow cost.
5. ELF — Squeeze Score 46.1
ELF shows a large-cap short profile: 49.9% of float is sold short, but the borrow fee is only 0.4% and days to cover is a tight 2.6, meaning the stock is liquid enough that shorts could unwind quickly if they chose to. Five-day momentum is flat at +0.4%. This isn't a tight-float squeeze setup — it's a heavily shorted, highly liquid name, and a squeeze would require a demand shock large enough to force fast covering despite the short cover window already being small.
6. CRMT — Squeeze Score 43.8
CRMT already looks like an active squeeze in progress: the stock is up 22.3% over the past five trading days, its borrow fee has climbed to 8.2%, and days to cover has compressed to 1.0, the tightest on the entire board. With 41.7% of float sold short, further borrow-fee escalation or continued price strength could accelerate covering given how little volume would be needed to unwind the whole short position.
7. CHWY — Squeeze Score 42.8
CHWY has 46.5% of its float sold short against a cheap 0.3% borrow fee and 2.4 days to cover — ample loanable supply keeps the cost of staying short low even with high short interest. Five-day momentum is essentially flat at +0.1%. A squeeze catalyst here would need to come from a demand shock large enough to overwhelm the stock's typical liquidity rather than from a tightening in borrow availability.
8. RH — Squeeze Score 38.6
RH carries 38.6% of float short with a 0.4% borrow fee and 4.9 days to cover, and five-day momentum is negative at -2.2%, the only decline among the top five names. That combination — moderate short interest, cheap borrow, and downward price drift — suggests shorts are currently comfortable holding the position; a squeeze setup here would need a reversal in price direction sharp enough to trigger stop-driven covering.
Stocks Flagged on the FINRA Threshold List
The T column flags names showing sustained heavy short pressure on the FINRA Consolidated NMS daily short-volume file — more than 50% of a stock's trading volume over the last seven sessions has been short-side. Of today's 25 candidates, only BTDR (score 34.1) and XRX (score 33.2) sit below that bar; every other name is currently on the list. See the full scoring breakdown at /methodology/short-squeeze-score for how threshold status factors into the score.
How the Squeeze Score Is Built
