Squeeze Report — August 4, 2026
Today's slate is dominated by biotech and healthcare names with elevated short interest, but the conviction is uniformly low—cheap borrow and convertible arb overhangs are the rule, not the exception. The standout is VRDN, where a fresh FDA approval and a complacent short base collide ahead of tomorrow's earnings.
