Squeeze Report — August 24, 2026
The tape is bifurcated: event-driven squeezes in GRRR and WEN are live today, while a cluster of biotech names (SLS, SVRA, SLDB) lean on binary catalysts that could cut either way. The strongest fuel sits where short interest is high but borrow is still cheap, leaving forced covering dependent on news, not mechanics.
Today's top short-squeeze candidates
- #1ORICOric Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Com81
45% of float sold short · 13.6 days to cover · +17% over 20 days
SI 45%DTC 13.6$14.20+17% 20dHealthcare - #2SLDBSolid Biosciences Inc. Common81
A 16.2-day days-to-cover and 21.8% short float look strong, but a 30.9% float expansion and declining short interest undercut the fuel.
SI 22%DTC 16.2$9.30+19% 20dHealthcare - #3GOGrocery Outlet Holding Corp. C79
25% of float sold short · 10.3 days to cover · +29% over 20 days
SI 25%DTC 10.3$11.60+29% 20dConsumer Defensive - #4HYMCHycroft Mining Holding Corpora79
High-grade silver drill results and a 25.9% short float ride the metals tape, but cheap borrow and ATM overhang blunt the squeeze.

15% of float sold short · 7.3 days to cover · +39% over 20 days
SI 15%DTC 7.3$195.90+39% 20dTechnology - #6GLOBGLOBANT S.A.77
A 26.6% 20-day surge has a 23.9% short float underwater, but near-zero implied volatility says the market sees no follow-through.
SI 24%DTC 5.3$39.62+27% 20dTechnology - #7ELVNEnliven Therapeutics, Inc. Com76
18% of float sold short · 11.4 days to cover · +13% over 20 days
SI 18%DTC 11.4$59.82+13% 20dHealthcare - #8GRRRGorilla Technology Group Inc.76
Earnings today collide with a 34.7% short float and a 21% jump in short interest, making this a live event-driven squeeze.
SI 35%DTC 4.0$16.06+34% 20dTechnology - #9AIC3.ai, Inc.76
A 33.8% short float and 26.4% 20-day rally have shorts underwater, yet they added 4.25% and options skew bearish into September earnings.
SI 34%DTC 8.4$10.30+26% 20dTechnology - #10COHUCohu, Inc. Common Stock76
Shorts added to a 17.6% float position with 7.2 days to cover, yet a 0.4% borrow fee means no carry pain forces them out.
SI 18%DTC 7.2$54.37+7% 20dTechnology - #11SAILSailPoint, Inc. Common Stock75
31% of float sold short · 5.9 days to cover · +25% over 20 days

SI 33%DTC 7.8$5.51-7% 20dHealthcare - #14GRNDGrindr Inc.74
A $900M buyback is shrinking the float under a 25.4% short interest, but negative equity and a controlled owner muddy the setup.
SI 25%DTC 5.5$15.53+5% 20dTechnology - #15DUOLDuolingo, Inc. Class A Common74
A D.A. Davidson upgrade sparked a beaten-down 20.7% short float, but cheap borrow and a $150 gamma flip require real news to break through.
SI 18%DTC 7.2$146.13+20% 20dTechnology
