Squeeze Report — August 13, 2026
Biotech dominates the squeeze scanner today, with a cluster of pre-catalyst setups—SVRA’s November PDUFA, EYPT’s imminent LUGANO data, and ABCL’s post-data dilution—highlighting the asymmetric risk/reward in the sector. Outside healthcare, UPWK’s convertible maturity and shrinking float offer a rare non-biotech setup, while extreme SI names like IBRX and TNGX remain fundamentally broken value traps.
