Squeeze Report — August 5, 2026
Earnings season is compressing multiple high-short-interest names into a tight window, with GRPN, CRSR, DBX, FA, and BKSY all reporting by August 6. The standout setup is GRPN, where a 66.7% short interest collides with a deeply shrunken float and a low-bar earnings catalyst, though fundamental fragility keeps it a high-wire act.
Today's top short-squeeze candidates
- #1ITGartner, Inc.80
A 22% post-earnings surge likely squeezed some shorts, but negligible borrow costs suggest the 17.6% short interest isn't under acute pressure yet.
SI 18%DTC 9.0$185.79+32% 20dIndustrials - #2CHTRCharter Communications, Inc. C80
26% of float sold short · 9.4 days to cover · +11% over 20 days
SI 26%DTC 9.4$153.07+11% 20dCommunication Services - #3AIC3.ai, Inc.78
32.4% short interest is high, but the CEO dumping 39% of his stake and a unanimous Sell consensus make the bull case hard to construct.
SI 32%DTC 8.8$10.05+13% 20dTechnology - #4GRPNGroupon, Inc. Common Stock77
66.7% short interest and a float shrunk by buybacks meet Q2 earnings on Aug 6, where even a modest beat could force underwater shorts to cover.
SI 67%DTC 9.1$27.49+2% 20dCommunication Services - #5CRSRCorsair Gaming, Inc. Common St77
A 27.9% rally in 20 days hints at early covering, but a $300M shelf and 56M shares registered for sale loom over the 23.4% short interest.
SI 23%DTC 8.3$11.37+28% 20dTechnology - #6TWSTTwist Bioscience Corporation C77
A fresh $300M equity offering dilutes the float, but raised guidance and approaching breakeven could still pressure a 23.6% short interest.
SI 24%DTC 9.7$99.44+9% 20dHealthcare - #7TMDXTransMedics Group, Inc. Common76
A Q2 miss, DOJ investigation, and $460M convertible note overhang weigh on the 23.1% short interest, despite a 13.6% recent rally.
SI 23%DTC 9.5$80.75+14% 20dHealthcare - #8RHIRobert Half Inc.76
25% of float sold short · 10.1 days to cover · +18% over 20 days
SI 25%DTC 10.1$40.99+18% 20dIndustrials - #9CERTCertara, Inc. Common Stock76
Aggressive buybacks and insider buying confront 27.7% short interest, but rock-bottom options IV suggests the market expects no catalyst.
SI 28%DTC 7.8$7.80+9% 20dHealthcare - #10LQDALiquidia Corporation Common St76
20% of float sold short · 9.2 days to cover · +9% over 20 days

SI 20%DTC 4.8$44.62+20% 20dConsumer Cyclical - #12CBRLCracker Barrel Old Country Sto75
A 15.4% rally suggests some covering of the 25.8% short interest, but traffic declines and rebranding backlash keep the fundamental picture weak.
SI 26%DTC 5.6$57.12+15% 20dConsumer Cyclical - #13GOGrocery Outlet Holding Corp. C75
23% short interest and 11.76 days to cover offer a long fuse, but a Q1 net loss and goodwill impairment make the fundamental story hard to underwrite.
SI 23%DTC 11.8$9.99-2% 20dConsumer Defensive - #14ASANAsana, Inc. Class A Common Sto75
