Top Short-Squeeze Candidates Today: July 13, 2026 — 7-Factor Leaderboard
GTBIF leads Tapeboard's July 13, 2026 squeeze-score leaderboard at 46.9/100, a session dominated by thin-data micro-cap ADRs tied at an identical 43.1 score, while GRPN (44.9/100) is the lone name with a fully observable, FINRA-threshold-confirmed short-squeeze profile.
TL;DR: As of market close on July 13, 2026, GTBIF leads Tapeboard's 7-factor squeeze leaderboard with a score of 46.9/100.
Tapeboard's daily squeeze scan ranked 18 stocks by composite score on July 13, 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. Sixteen of the 18 names carry an identical 43.1 composite score with no observable short interest, borrow fee, or momentum data, while GRPN stands alone as the session's only fully-populated, FINRA-threshold-confirmed name.

What Drove Today's Rankings
Sixteen of today's 18 names — rank 3 (ABCCF) through rank 18 (ALCKF) — share an identical 43.1 composite score and an identical 999.99 days to cover reading, the model's ceiling value for names where recent volume is too thin to compute a real cover estimate; short interest, borrow fee, and momentum data were unavailable for the same set. GRPN, at rank 2, is the outlier that breaks the pattern: it's the only top-10 name with a full data set — 67.5% short interest, a 1.2% borrow fee, 6.1 days to cover, and confirmed FINRA threshold status — and it posted the leaderboard's only measured momentum reading, -11.4% over five days. The model's 35%/25% short-interest/borrow-fee weighting means names without that data score primarily off whichever factors remain observable.
Top 5 Names
1. GTBIF — Squeeze Score 46.9/100
GTBIF tops today's leaderboard with a score of 46.9/100, the session's highest reading despite having no observable short interest, borrow fee, days-to-cover, or momentum data — the score is reweighted across the remaining factors given that gap. The Pharmaceuticals-sector stock, last priced at $7.62, is not flagged on the FINRA threshold list, meaning recent short-side volume hasn't crossed the reporting threshold.
2. GRPN — Squeeze Score 44.9/100
GRPN ranks second at 44.9/100, driven primarily by short interest at 67.5% of float and a 1.2% annualized borrow fee, which together translate to 6.1 days to cover at recent volume. The Retail-sector name is confirmed on the FINRA threshold list and posted the leaderboard's only measured momentum reading, -11.4% over five days, with its borrow fee down 0.4 percentage points over the same span.
3. ABCCF — Squeeze Score 43.1/100
ABCCF ties for third at 43.1/100 — a score shared by 14 other names in today's set — with short interest, borrow fee, and momentum data unavailable, so the score is reweighted across the remaining factors. The Financial Services name carries a 999.99 days-to-cover reading, the model's ceiling value for names with too little recent volume to compute a real estimate, and is not on the FINRA threshold list; shares last traded at $6.49.
4. ABSKF — Squeeze Score 43.1/100
ABSKF shares the 43.1/100 score at rank 4; with short interest, borrow fee, and momentum data unavailable, the score is reweighted across the remaining factors, leaving the same 999.99 days-to-cover ceiling reading as the bulk of today's set. The Real Estate name is not on the FINRA threshold list, and its shares, priced at $1.01, are the lowest of today's top five by dollar price — though price itself carries no weight in the composite score.
5. ACCEF — Squeeze Score 43.1/100
ACCEF rounds out the top five at 43.1/100, the same score as ABCCF and ABSKF, with short interest, borrow fee, and momentum data unavailable and a 999.99 days-to-cover reading standing in for a real cover estimate. The Telecommunication name is not on the FINRA threshold list; shares last traded at $9.31, and, like the rest of today's rank 3-15 cluster, its score is reweighted across the observable factors rather than the full seven.
Factor Breakdown: How the Score Is Built
Tapeboard's squeeze score weights five core components: 35% short interest as a percentage of float (FINRA), 25% borrow fee (IBKR), 20% float utilization, 15% days to cover, and 5% five-day momentum (Schwab), each z-scored against a live ~500-stock universe before being combined into the 0-100 composite. The FINRA Consolidated NMS short-volume ratio and week-over-week borrow-fee change feed into the same model as contextual flags rather than as separately weighted components. The composite is built to surface short squeeze potential across the universe scanned each day, not to forecast whether any individual name will actually squeeze. Full weight definitions and z-score methodology are documented in the methodology.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the top short-squeeze candidates today?
Tapeboard's top three squeeze-score names on July 13, 2026 are GTBIF (46.9/100; short interest and borrow fee data unavailable), GRPN (44.9/100; 67.5% short interest and a 1.2% annualized borrow fee), and ABCCF (43.1/100; short interest and borrow fee data unavailable).
How does Tapeboard calculate its squeeze score?
Tapeboard z-scores each factor against a live ~500-stock universe, then combines them into a single 0-100 composite weighted 35% short interest as a percentage of float, 25% borrow fee, 20% float utilization, 15% days to cover, and 5% five-day momentum, with FINRA short-volume threshold status and week-over-week fee change as contextual flags.
When does short-interest data update?
Short interest lags roughly two weeks per the FINRA settlement schedule, so today's reading reflects the most recent settlement date rather than July 13 itself. Borrow fee data updates next-day from IBKR stock-loan availability.
