Squeeze Report — October 16, 2026

The squeeze screen is bifurcated: a cluster of consumer and energy names (KSS, ULCC, BKV) hold live but late-stage setups into earnings, while biotech's crowded unwind leaves mechanically high short interest (ORIC, BEAM, VSTM) looking like traps, not fuel. The edge today is in names where the borrow is still cheap but the catalyst is hard-dated.
