Squeeze Report — August 28, 2026

The tape is bifurcated: a cluster of pre-revenue biotechs (SLS, ORIC, SLDB) are running hot into binary catalysts while heavily diluted balance sheets cap forced-covering risk. Elsewhere, high static short interest in WHR, PLAY, and GO is undercut by cheap borrow and already-declining short bases.

Today's top short-squeeze candidates

  1. #1SLDBSolid Biosciences Inc. Common82

    21.8% short interest meets a late-Q4 FDA meeting on SGT-003 accelerated approval, but cheap borrow and an active ATM blunt the squeeze edge.

  2. #2ELVNEnliven Therapeutics, Inc. Com79

    17.9% short float and 11.44 days to cover, but 41 insider sells and a $200M ATM mean any squeeze needs ENABLE-2 to land.

  4. #4HYMCHycroft Mining Holding Corpora78

    25.9% short interest and a 14.5% short increase, but a pre-revenue miner with a $55M ATM and 11 insider sells is a weak squeeze host.

  6. #6GOGrocery Outlet Holding Corp. C78

  7. #7ORICOric Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Com77

    44.8% short float and 13.55 days to cover, yet a $200M ATM and near-zero options IV suggest the market isn't bracing for a squeeze.

  12. #12GLOBGLOBANT S.A.76

    23.9% short float and six insider buys, but thin options data and a 43.6% drawdown from highs keep this a watchlist name, not a trigger.

  15. #15PRGOPERRIGO COMPANY PLC75
