Squeeze Report — August 3, 2026
Earnings season is delivering a dense cluster of binary events, with IT, VYX, PGEN, TMDX, and TVTX all reporting by August 6. The standout setup is the collision of extreme days-to-cover and active buybacks in names like FOUR and NTST, though fundamental fragility keeps most in the medium-confidence tier.

A favorable patent ruling glimpse collides with heavy insider selling, leaving the 19.8% short float in limbo ahead of earnings.
