// APO ranked on Tapeboard's 0-100 short squeeze leaderboard · components disclosed below · methodology fully published
How APO got to 50 / 100
The APO squeeze score is a weighted sum of seven normalized components, short interest as a percentage of float, IBKR borrow fee, float utilization, FINRA CNMS daily short-volume ratio, days to cover, trailing 5-day price momentum, and the borrow fee's 5-day change. Each component is z-scored against a universe of roughly 500 active US equities, then combined with the weights shown below.

How the score is calculated
Tapeboard's short squeeze score (v2) weights short interest at 25%, borrow fee at 20%, float utilization at 15%, daily short-volume ratio at 15%, days to cover at 10%, 5-day momentum at 10%, and borrow-fee 5-day change at 5%. Sources: FINRA bi-monthly settlement data for short interest, IBKR Stock Loan Availability for borrow fees and utilization, FINRA CNMS daily short sale volume files for the daily short-volume ratio, and FINRA Threshold Securities List for the failures-to-deliver flag. Full methodology, including normalization formula, known limitations, and the reasoning behind each weight, is published at /methodology/short-squeeze-score.

Frequently asked questions about APO squeeze risk
What does a Short Squeeze Score of 50 / 100 mean for APO?
A score of 50/100 puts APO in the middle band. Some squeeze conditions are present, but not all, review the component breakdown above to see which inputs are driving the score versus which are dragging it down.
How fresh is the APO squeeze data?
APO's score recomputes once daily after the US market close (typically by 9 PM ET). Borrow fee, float utilization, and momentum refresh daily and are live. Short interest carries the most recent FINRA settlement date and is held between readings, because FINRA publishes short interest on a settlement schedule, not daily. That is why the SI %Float row above is stamped with its own as-of date. Real-time short interest does not exist publicly in US markets.
Is APO on the FINRA threshold list?
As of the most recent FINRA file, APO is not on the threshold list. The list is published end-of-day and a ticker can move on or off based on cumulative settlement failures over rolling five-day windows. See stocks currently on the threshold list.
