Squeeze Report — September 11, 2026
The tape is crowded with fragile, medium-conviction squeeze candidates, but the real story is the clustering of binary catalysts: CELC's REVTORPYK launch, VERA's ORIGIN 3 readout, and SMMT's ivonescimab PDUFA all land within weeks. The setups are live, but dilution overhangs and cheap borrow are the recurring killjoys.

SI 13%DTC 7.4$35.72+14% 20dTechnology - #10CHTRCharter Communications, Inc. C76
29.9% short float and 23 insider buys are notable, but the Cox deal will issue 33.6M units and $6B in convertibles, capping upside.

13.62 days to cover and +18.1% 20-day momentum are live, but a $300M ATM and IV Rank 5 say the options market is asleep.
