Most Shorted Stocks Today: July 13, 2026 — Top 25 Squeeze Candidates

The most shorted stock on July 13, 2026 is Groupon (GRPN), the only name on Tapeboard's board with a full short-interest, borrow-fee, and days-to-cover data set behind its 44.9 squeeze score and FINRA threshold flag, while the rest of the list is OTC tickers carrying a flat 43.1 baseline score due to incomplete short-data coverage.

On July 13, 2026, Tapeboard's short squeeze board is topped by GRPN at rank 3, the only name on today's list carrying a full data set: a squeeze score of 44.9, short interest equal to 67.5% of float, a borrow fee of 1.2%, and days to cover of 6.1 sessions. The remaining 17 names are mostly thinly-traded OTC tickers sharing an identical 43.1 baseline score, which reflects incomplete short-data coverage rather than confirmed squeeze pressure — GTBIF's 46.9 score is the lone standout among them despite carrying no short-interest, fee, or days-to-cover figures of its own. Today's board therefore splits into one verified, threshold-flagged setup in GRPN and a long tail of data-incomplete OTC names.

The table below is every name Tapeboard surfaced on today's board, ordered by rank. Only GRPN carries populated short-interest, borrow-fee, and days-to-cover figures; every other row below shows "—" where FINRA and IBKR coverage doesn't yet extend to the symbol.

3. GRPN — Squeeze Score 44.9

GRPN trades at $23.89 and is the only name on today's board with a complete data set. Short interest sits at 67.5% of float, the borrow fee is 1.2%, and days to cover runs 6.1 sessions at recent volume — float utilization matches the SI figure at 67.5%, since Tapeboard derives both from the same short-interest base. Five-day momentum is -11.4%, so the stock has been selling off rather than squeezing against the short base so far. GRPN is also flagged on the FINRA threshold list, confirming sustained heavy short-side volume over the past week. This is a high-SI setup with a comparatively low borrow fee for two-thirds-of-float short interest — a squeeze catalyst here would mechanically need either a rally strong enough to make holding the short position increasingly costly on a $23.89 base, or a tightening of borrow availability that pushes the fee rate up and makes the position harder to carry.

12. ABCCF — Squeeze Score 43.1

ABCCF trades at $6.49 and carries Tapeboard's 43.1 baseline score — the value assigned when FINRA short-interest, IBKR borrow-fee, and float-utilization data don't yet extend to a symbol. The days-to-cover field returns the platform's not-computable placeholder rather than a real figure, and momentum data is likewise unavailable. This is a data-coverage gap rather than a confirmed squeeze setup: until SI%, fee, and utilization figures actually populate, there's no mechanical read on what would force covering here.

16. ABSKF — Squeeze Score 43.1

ABSKF is priced at $1.01 and shows the same 43.1 baseline score and empty SI, fee, and days-to-cover fields as ABCCF above. Like most of today's lower-ranked names, it's an OTC-traded ticker sitting outside current FINRA/IBKR coverage, so it's on the board based on price and listing characteristics alone rather than any measured short-side pressure.

21. ACCEF — Squeeze Score 43.1

ACCEF trades at $9.31, again with a 43.1 baseline score and no populated SI%, borrow-fee, or days-to-cover data, and no threshold flag. A real squeeze read on this name would require short-interest and borrow-fee data to actually populate — until then, its presence on the board reflects incomplete data, not measured short demand.

26. ACIRF — Squeeze Score 43.1

ACIRF is priced at $0.96 and rounds out today's top five with the same 43.1 baseline and no SI, fee, or days-to-cover figures on file. As with the three names above it, this is a coverage placeholder rather than a signal of active short pressure — a shift into an actionable setup would only come once FINRA and IBKR data actually populate for the symbol.

Stocks Flagged on the FINRA Threshold List

The T column marks names showing sustained heavy short pressure on the FINRA Consolidated NMS daily short-volume file — specifically, short volume made up more than 50% of total volume across the last seven trading days. On July 13, 2026, GRPN is the only ticker on the board carrying that flag; none of the OTC names below it currently show a threshold designation.

How the Tapeboard Squeeze Score Is Calculated

Tapeboard's 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). When a component is unavailable for a given symbol — as with most of today's OTC names — the score falls back to a baseline rather than an estimate, which is why so many names above share an identical 43.1 figure.
