ANF Short Squeeze Score: 55 / 100
// ANF ranked on Tapeboard's 0-100 short squeeze leaderboard · components disclosed below · methodology fully published
This score isn't static — short interest re-settles every two weeks and ANF's borrow fee can spike intraday. Tapeboard re-scores ANF every day, ranks it against the full live squeeze board, and pairs it with a real-time scanner and watchlist — so you catch the setup changing, not a snapshot. Free, no card.
How ANF got to 55 / 100
The ANF squeeze score is a weighted sum of seven normalized components, short interest as a percentage of float, IBKR borrow fee, float utilization, FINRA CNMS daily short-volume ratio, days to cover, trailing 5-day price momentum, and the borrow fee's 5-day change. Each component is z-scored against a universe of roughly 500 active US equities, then combined with the weights shown below.
| COMPONENT | WEIGHT | RAW | CONTRIBUTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI %Float | 25% | 11.5% @ Jul 15, 2026 | - |
| Borrow Fee | 20% | - | - |
| Float Utilization | 15% | 11.5% | 0.09 |
| Days to Cover | 10% | 4.4 | -0.03 |
| 5-Day Momentum | 10% | - | - |

ANF 30-day borrow fee and short interest trend
Trailing-30-day series of two of the highest-signal squeeze inputs for ANF, the IBKR borrow fee (cost to short the stock) and short interest as a percentage of float. Free per-ticker borrow-fee history is not published by Fintel or Ortex on their public pages.

How the score is calculated
Tapeboard's short squeeze score (v2) weights short interest at 25%, borrow fee at 20%, float utilization at 15%, daily short-volume ratio at 15%, days to cover at 10%, 5-day momentum at 10%, and borrow-fee 5-day change at 5%. Sources: FINRA bi-monthly settlement data for short interest, IBKR Stock Loan Availability for borrow fees and utilization, FINRA CNMS daily short sale volume files for the daily short-volume ratio, and FINRA Threshold Securities List for the failures-to-deliver flag. Full methodology, including normalization formula, known limitations, and the reasoning behind each weight, is published at /methodology/short-squeeze-score.

Frequently asked questions about ANF squeeze risk
What does a Short Squeeze Score of 55 / 100 mean for ANF?
A score of 55/100 puts ANF in the middle band. Some squeeze conditions are present, but not all, review the component breakdown above to see which inputs are driving the score versus which are dragging it down.
How fresh is the ANF squeeze data?
ANF's score recomputes once daily after the US market close (typically by 9 PM ET). Borrow fee, float utilization, and momentum refresh daily and are live. Short interest is settled as of Jul 15, 2026 and is held between readings, because FINRA publishes short interest on a settlement schedule, not daily. That is why the SI %Float row above is stamped with its own as-of date. Real-time short interest does not exist publicly in US markets.
Is ANF on the FINRA threshold list?
Yes, ANF appears on the current FINRA Threshold Securities List, meaning aggregate failures-to-deliver have exceeded the regulatory threshold for at least five consecutive settlement days. Threshold inclusion is a backward-looking confirmation of covering pressure. See all stocks on the threshold list today.
