Deep Dive: The Five Highest Squeeze Scores on June 9, 2026
1. OPAD — Squeeze Score 100
OPAD is the only stock on the board with short interest above its entire float — 114.0% — alongside 100% float utilization and 6.6 days to cover at a $5.10 share price. This is the most extreme setup the score can register: when shorted shares exceed the float, covering demand structurally outstrips available supply. Borrow-fee data is unavailable today, but with utilization maxed, any positive catalyst that forces covering has nowhere to source shares except from existing holders, and recalls alone could trigger a short squeeze.
4. GRPN — Squeeze Score 50.8
GRPN holds the second-highest short interest on the board at 66.7% of float, with 66.7% utilization and 5.4 days to cover at $16.50. The borrow is still cheap at 1.0%, which makes this a high-SI, low-cost setup — shorts face no carry pressure yet, but the position is crowded. If borrow availability tightens and the fee reprices toward scarcity, the cost of holding a two-thirds-of-float short changes quickly, and the threshold flag confirms short-side volume has dominated recent trading.
8. LCID — Squeeze Score 36.5
LCID carries the highest borrow fee in the top 25 at 8.2% annualized, on 35.5% short interest and a tight 3.4 days to cover at $5.13. This is the board's clearest fee-pressure setup: shorts are already paying real carry, and the low days-to-cover figure means a covering wave would clear fast at current volume. Further fee escalation is the mechanical trigger to watch — at 8.2% and climbing, marginal shorts get squeezed out by cost before price even moves.
9. CHWY — Squeeze Score 36
CHWY shows 43.5% short interest with a cheap 0.4% borrow, 3.1 days to cover, and 5-day momentum of -5.0% at $20.71. This is a large, liquid name where shorts are pressing a downtrend at almost no cost — the classic momentum-short profile. The squeeze mechanic here is a reversal: with 43.5% of float short and only 3.1 days needed to cover, any forced unwind compresses into a short window of trading.
10. INDI — Squeeze Score 36
INDI pairs 29.5% short interest with a 1.9% borrow fee and the slowest exit among the top five — 11.5 days to cover at $4.04. The SI level is moderate by today's standards, but the days-to-cover figure is what loads the spring: at recent volume, shorts need more than two trading weeks to fully unwind. If volume stays thin and a catalyst forces covering, the exit is narrow, and the threshold flag indicates short-side flow has dominated for days.
Stocks Flagged on the FINRA Threshold List
The T column marks names showing sustained heavy short pressure on the FINRA threshold measure — more than 50% of recent volume traded short-side on the FINRA Consolidated NMS daily short-volume file within the last 7 sessions. Twenty of today's 25 names carry the flag, an unusually broad reading. Full criteria are documented at /methodology/short-squeeze-score.
How the Tapeboard Squeeze Score Is Built
The score blends five inputs: 35% short interest as a percent of float (FINRA), 25% borrow fee (IBKR), 20% float utilization, 15% days to cover, and 5% 5-day momentum (Schwab). The full weighting and normalization breakdown lives at /methodology/short-squeeze-score.
