Short interest
Most Shorted Stocks
TheDesperateTrader.com· Short squeeze watch · as of Jul 15, 2026
The most shorted liquid U.S. stocks, ranked by short interest as a percent of float — the classic short-squeeze setup. Short interest is from FINRA (as of Jul 15, 2026); float is estimated from SEC filings. A high short percent of float, especially on a low float, is what fuels the biggest squeezes. It is a volatility and risk signal, not a prediction. Tap any ticker for its live chart, ownership breakdown and alerts.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the most shorted stocks and short squeezes on TheDesperateTrader.
- What are the most shorted stocks?
- The most shorted stocks are those with the highest short interest as a percent of their tradable float, the shares sold short divided by the free float. This list ranks liquid U.S. names by that metric (short interest as of Jul 15, 2026, float estimated from SEC filings). A high short percent of float is the classic setup traders watch for a short squeeze.
- What is a short squeeze?
- A short squeeze happens when a heavily-shorted stock rises, forcing short sellers to buy back shares to cover their positions. That buying pushes the price higher, forcing more covering, a feedback loop that can spike a stock fast. A high short percent of float plus a low float (few shares to buy back) is the combination that fuels the biggest squeezes.
- What does "days to cover" mean?
- Days to cover (the short interest ratio) is short interest divided by average daily volume, roughly how many days of normal trading it would take shorts to buy back all their shares. A higher days-to-cover means it is harder for shorts to exit quickly, which can intensify a squeeze.
- How current is this data?
- Short interest is reported by FINRA about twice a month; this list uses the latest settlement (Jul 15, 2026). Float is from SEC filings and refreshed as new filings publish. High short interest is a risk/volatility signal, not a prediction, squeezes are rare. Nothing here is investment advice.
