Squeeze Report — October 9, 2026
The tape is crowded with high-short-interest biotechs, but the fuel is mostly cheap and the options market has already pre-paid for the move. The more interesting setups are the event-driven consumer and industrial names where a real catalyst—earnings, a sale closing, or a strategic stake—could force actual covering.
Today's top short-squeeze candidates
- #1TNGXTango Therapeutics, Inc.79
The raw #1 squeeze score is real, but three straight SI trims and zero borrow pressure make the ESMO catalyst the whole trade.
SI 39%DTC 18.8$22.57-3% 20dHealthcare - #2SYMSymbotic Inc. Class A Common S79
A high short interest and fresh Buy rating are undercut by 90% Walmart concentration and an Up-C share overhang.
SI 34%DTC 11.4$42.06+2% 20dIndustrials - #3ABSIAbsci Corporation Common Stock78
14.4 days to cover is the headline, but borrow at 0.42% with 2.2M shares available means no one is being forced.
SI 25%DTC 14.4$8.94+8% 20dHealthcare - #4BEAMBeam Therapeutics Inc. Common78
29% of float sold short · 12.6 days to cover · +1% over 20 days · options pricing in the 90th percentile (crowded)
SI 29%DTC 12.6$24.60+1% 20dHealthcare - #5NTLAIntellia Therapeutics, Inc. Co78
A 94th-percentile IV despite a 4% absolute level means any good news into Nov 5 earnings is likely to fade.
SI 35%DTC 14.1$12.60+6% 20dHealthcare - #6GLOBGLOBANT S.A.77
Short interest rose 39.5% and days-to-cover exceed 10, but a guidance cut, class action, and put wall make this a tactical bounce at best.
SI 29%DTC 10.7$37.05+1% 20dTechnology - #7BSYBentley Systems, Incorporated76
15% of float sold short · 8.0 days to cover · +12% over 20 days

SI 20%DTC 12.9$17.53+8% 20dFinancial Services - #9REPLReplimune Group, Inc. Common S75
The FDA overhang is gone, but cheap options and a 16.6% biotech base rate make this a tactical bounce, not a conviction squeeze.
SI 29%DTC 11.1$13.04-2% 20dHealthcare - #10TDCTERADATA CORPORATION75
18% of float sold short · 8.3 days to cover · +11% over 20 days

SI 21%DTC 8.9$152.05+20% 20dHealthcare - #15IBRXImmunityBio, Inc. Common Stock74
Short interest exceeds the float, but a going-concern warning and 41M new shares YTD make any pop a funding window.
