Squeeze Report — October 23, 2026
The pre-election earnings calendar is colliding with a crowded short base across software, consumer, and biotech. The highest-conviction setups aren't the biggest short interest numbers — they're names where a single Q3 print could force covering in days, not weeks.
Today's top short-squeeze candidates
- #1GLOBGLOBANT S.A.84
Top-ranked squeeze score on 31% short interest, yet cheap borrow and a cut FY26 outlook mean only a Q3 surprise forces covering.
SI 31%DTC 13.2$45.78+31% 20dTechnology - #2TNGXTango Therapeutics, Inc.79
ESMO data today could move 37% short interest, but a $400M ATM and put-heavy flow suggest the smart money is hedging.
SI 37%DTC 12.5$27.93+13% 20dHealthcare - #3TNDMTandem Diabetes Care, Inc. Com77
21% short interest into Nov 5 earnings is live, but a $616M convertible overhang and insider selling cap the squeeze math.
SI 21%DTC 5.3$17.15+13% 20dHealthcare - #4NOGNorthern Oil and Gas, Inc.77
21% of float sold short · 9.0 days to cover · +16% over 20 days
SI 21%DTC 9.0$27.26+16% 20dEnergy - #5CRKComstock Resources, Inc.77
32% short interest with 7th-percentile implied vol means cheap hedges into a binary Nov 4 print — both directions underpriced.
SI 32%DTC 9.1$13.97+1% 20dEnergy - #6FRPTFreshpet, Inc. Common Stock77
17% short interest and a 15% 20-day run set the stage, but sub-0.3% borrow fees and a CEO sale cap the forced-covering case.
SI 17%DTC 7.8$67.00+15% 20dConsumer Defensive - #7ENOVEnovis Corporation76
Five straight settlements of rising short interest meet insider buying and a Nov 5 print, yet cheap borrow says shorts aren't trapped.
SI 19%DTC 5.8$21.59+18% 20dHealthcare - #8CAKECheesecake Factory Incorporate76
22% of float is short into Q3 earnings, but insider selling and a convertible overhang make this a binary coin-flip, not a clean squeeze.
SI 22%DTC 7.3$112.44+7% 20dConsumer Cyclical - #9CRSRCorsair Gaming, Inc. Common St76
20% of float sold short · 9.8 days to cover · +1% over 20 days · options pricing in the 93th percentile (crowded)

SI 15%DTC 8.0$50.08+18% 20dConsumer Cyclical - #12IEPIcahn Enterprises, L.P. Common75
48% short interest and 22 days to cover look extreme, but a 52-week low and in-kind unit dilution keep this a falling knife.
SI 49%DTC 22.4$6.13-12% 20dEnergy - #13GLUEMonte Rosa Therapeutics, Inc.75
33% of float sold short · 18.0 days to cover · -5% over 20 days
SI 33%DTC 18.0$11.11-5% 20dHealthcare - #14IBRXImmunityBio, Inc. Common Stock75
Short interest exceeds the entire float, but a going-concern warning and $480M convertible note make this a liquidity trap for bulls.
SI 108%DTC 8.9$8.31-4% 20dHealthcare - #15DEIDouglas Emmett, Inc.75
11.8 days to cover is the headline, but short interest actually rose last settlement — no covering trigger is visible yet.
