Squeeze Report — September 25, 2026
Three high-conviction squeeze candidates cluster around late-September earnings: CNXC, SEI, and a crowded biotech tape. Elsewhere, catalysts are thinner — several high-short-interest names are fighting dilution overhangs and cheap borrow that blunt any forced-covering edge.
Today's top short-squeeze candidates
- #1GRPNGroupon, Inc. Common Stock81
A #1 squeeze score (81.3) and activist demand for buybacks face cheap borrow and a convertible overhang that could supply shorts.
SI 59%DTC 11.3$20.89+10% 20dCommunication Services - #2ORICOric Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Com81
35% of float sold short · 16.2 days to cover · -5% over 20 days
SI 35%DTC 16.2$13.18-5% 20dHealthcare - #3CNXCConcentrix Corporation Common80
Q3 earnings land Sept 29 against 20.6% short interest and 7.5 days to cover, with an active buyback tightening the float.
SI 21%DTC 7.5$29.39+5% 20dTechnology - #4NEONeoGenomics, Inc. Common Stock80
67.6% short interest near a 52-week high is tempered by 0.25% borrow and convertible notes capping upside near $21.
SI 68%DTC 9.0$19.56+13% 20dHealthcare - #5TNGXTango Therapeutics, Inc.79
40% of float sold short · 19.7 days to cover · -3% over 20 days
SI 40%DTC 19.7$24.63-3% 20dHealthcare - #6MMEDMiniMed Group, Inc. Common Sto78
Short interest jumped 36.7% into a tight 27.5M-share float, but the exchange offer registering 225M new shares time-boxes any squeeze.
SI 29%DTC 5.8$20.44+5% 20dHealthcare - #7SMMTSummit Therapeutics Inc. Commo77
37.5% short with a Nov 14 PDUFA, but going-concern doubt and a $380M ATM give shorts real ammunition.
SI 37%DTC 6.6$16.38+15% 20dHealthcare - #8ABSIAbsci Corporation Common Stock76
25% of float sold short · 12.5 days to cover · +12% over 20 days

SI 20%DTC 12.4$36.75+7% 20dHealthcare - #10GLUEMonte Rosa Therapeutics, Inc.76
16.6 days to cover and a trapped-short drawdown are undermined by no confirmed clinical catalyst and a $345M January offering.
SI 30%DTC 16.6$11.72-18% 20dHealthcare - #11SEISolaris Energy Infrastructure,76
A director's $501K buy and raised targets meet 33.9% short interest, though a $1.25B note deal and 18% share growth muddy the setup.
SI 34%DTC 6.2$70.10+35% 20dEnergy - #12ARQTArcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc.76
Short interest jumped 12.5% in two weeks, but options pricing 3% implied vol suggests no one is bracing for a squeeze.
SI 15%DTC 9.4$26.27+4% 20dHealthcare - #13HALOHalozyme Therapeutics, Inc. Co75
13% of float sold short · 8.7 days to cover · +8% over 20 days

SI 19%DTC 10.2$70.95-1% 20dHealthcare - #15CRSPCRISPR Therapeutics AG Common74
19.5% short with 10.7 days to cover, but flat price action and a $600M ATM keep the squeeze case inert.
SI 20%DTC 10.7$55.70-6% 20dHealthcare
