Top Short-Squeeze Candidates Today: June 25, 2026 — 7-Factor Leaderboard
GRPN tops Tapeboard's June 25, 2026 composite squeeze leaderboard at 66/100, leading a board where elevated short interest and FINRA-threshold flags dominate the top ten.
TL;DR: As of market close on June 25, 2026, GRPN leads Tapeboard's 7-factor squeeze leaderboard with a score of 66/100, driven by 56.3% short interest and a 1.4% annualized borrow fee.
Tapeboard's daily squeeze scan ranked 25 stocks by composite score on June 25, 2026, combining seven factors: short interest as a percentage of float, annualized borrow fee, float utilization, the FINRA Consolidated NMS short-volume ratio, days-to-cover, five-day price momentum, and week-over-week borrow-fee change — each z-scored against a live ~500-stock universe. Today's board skews toward names where heavy short interest meets a threshold flag: the top three pair very different fee profiles with strong float and momentum readings, the kind of crowding that defines a short squeeze setup.

What Drove Today's Rankings
Across the top ten, the dominant signal is elevated short interest paired with a threshold flag: nine of the ten names carry the FINRA threshold marker, and SI%Float — the single most heavily weighted factor at 35% — anchors leaders GRPN (56.3%) and RH (60.5%). The clear outlier is RH at rank three, carried by that float reading and a 6.7 days to cover figure despite the lowest borrow fee in the top ten at 0.3%, where peers like GETY (215.2%) and LCID (58.2%) score on loan cost instead.
Top 5 Names
1. GRPN — Squeeze Score 66/100
GRPN's primary driver is short interest at 56.3% of float, the second-highest SI reading in the top five behind RH. Secondarily, GRPN sits on the FINRA threshold list and posted +38.2% five-day momentum, while its borrow fee stayed low at 1.4% — essentially flat over the last five trading days at −0.03 points. Days to cover stands at 5.8.
2. GETY — Squeeze Score 62.4/100
GETY's primary driver is an annualized borrow fee of 215.2%, by far the highest on the board, after a +193.4-point jump over five days. As a secondary signal, short interest is a comparatively modest 17.9% of float, but GETY carries the FINRA threshold flag and the leaderboard's strongest momentum reading at +65.7%, with 6.7 days to cover.
3. RH — Squeeze Score 57/100
RH's primary driver is short interest of 60.5% of float, the highest SI reading on the entire board. That ranking comes despite a near-zero borrow fee of 0.3%, so the secondary support is float and a 6.7 days-to-cover figure rather than loan cost. RH holds the FINRA threshold flag and recorded +17.9% five-day momentum.
4. CRMT — Squeeze Score 50.3/100
CRMT's primary driver is days to cover of 17.6, among the highest in the top ten, paired with a 10.3% borrow fee that climbed +2.83 points over five days. The secondary signals are short interest of 24.1% of float and the board's strongest momentum reading at +71.5%, alongside a FINRA threshold flag.
5. LCID — Squeeze Score 49.3/100
LCID's primary driver is an annualized borrow fee of 58.2%, second-highest on the board, up +30.5 points over five days. As secondary signals, short interest sits at 35.9% of float against a low 3.5 days to cover, while five-day momentum was roughly flat at −0.4%. LCID carries the FINRA threshold flag.
Factor Breakdown: How the Score Is Built
Tapeboard's composite weights its core inputs as follows: 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). Each factor is z-scored against a live ~500-stock universe drawn from NYSE- and NASDAQ-listed names, so a stock is judged relative to current market conditions rather than a fixed cutoff. See the methodology for the full formula.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the top short-squeeze candidates today?
On June 25, 2026, the top three by composite score are GRPN (66/100, 56.3% short interest, 1.4% borrow fee), GETY (62.4/100, 17.9% short interest, 215.2% borrow fee), and RH (57/100, 60.5% short interest, 0.3% borrow fee). Each appears on the FINRA Consolidated NMS threshold list.
How does Tapeboard calculate its squeeze score?
The score is a 0–100 composite that z-scores each factor against a live ~500-stock universe, then blends them by weight: 35% short interest/float, 25% borrow fee, 20% float utilization, 15% days to cover, and 5% five-day momentum. Z-scoring normalizes every input so no single raw value dominates the ranking.
When does short-interest data update?
Short interest lags roughly two weeks, following the FINRA settlement schedule, so the SI%Float inputs reflect the most recent settled report rather than live positioning. Borrow fees and stock-loan availability update next-day from IBKR, and the short-volume threshold refreshes daily from FINRA Consolidated NMS.
