Most Shorted Stocks Today: July 15, 2026 — Top 25 Squeeze Candidates
On July 15, 2026, GRPN tops the daily short squeeze leaderboard with a score of 53.5, standing as the only ticker with complete borrow and short interest data after OTC/grey-market names with sentinel days-to-cover readings were excluded.
GRPN tops the daily short squeeze leaderboard with a score of 53.5 on July 15, 2026. GRPN stands alone with verified short interest and borrow fee data. Several OTC-listed tickers were excluded from the ranking after data-quality filtering — each carried null short-interest, borrow-fee, and float-utilization data alongside a sentinel 999.99 days to cover reading, producing degenerate composite scores that were removed by design.
July 15, 2026 Top 25 Short Squeeze Candidates
| Rank | Symbol | Squeeze Score | SI % Float | Borrow Fee | Days to Cover | T |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GRPN | 53.5 | 67.5% | 1.3% | 6.11 | T |
1. GRPN — Squeeze Score 53.5
GRPN registers a squeeze score of 53.5, backed by a short interest of 67.5% of its free float. The borrow fee stands at 1.3%, with days to cover at 6.11 and a recent price of 25.6. This is a high-SI, threshold-flagged momentum setup. With float utilization matching the short interest at 67.5% and 5-day momentum at 1.76%, the mechanics for a squeeze are present. If borrow availability tightens further or a positive catalyst forces covering, the elevated short interest creates conditions for a rapid upward repricing.
Excluded Names
Several OTC/grey-market securities — the names that would otherwise have occupied ranks below GRPN — were removed from the leaderboard after data-quality filtering. Each carried null short-interest, borrow-fee, and float-utilization data with a sentinel 999.99 days-to-cover reading reflecting effectively no available volume to clear shorts. Because short interest (35% weight) and borrow fee (25% weight) carry the two largest weights in the composite and were unavailable for these names, their scores would have been driven entirely by the 999.99 sentinel rather than an active squeeze signal — they are excluded by design.
Stocks Flagged on the FINRA Threshold List
The T flag indicates a symbol shows sustained heavy short pressure on the FINRA Consolidated NMS daily short-volume file, meaning more than 50% of recent volume was short-side. GRPN is the only ticker on today's leaderboard carrying the FINRA threshold flag. For the full scoring breakdown, see the methodology page.
How the Score is Built
The Tapeboard squeeze score is built on a weighted formula: 35% SI%Float sourced from FINRA, 25% Borrow Fee sourced from IBKR, 20% float utilization, 15% days to cover, and 5% 5-day momentum sourced from Schwab. Data attributions are strictly limited to FINRA, IBKR, Schwab, and SEC. For the complete methodology, visit the short squeeze score methodology page.
