Watchlist
| Ticker | Score | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| SPRY | 4/7 | SPRY scores 4/7 with DTC of 13.89 days, near-total institutional float lockup (~84.7% of 99.3M outstanding exceeds the 42.45M free float), +29% price momentum over 30 days, and a freshly extended Neffy monopoly runway after a competitor received an FDA deficiency letter on June 24, 2026. The primary unresolved risk is the SI% at 37.04%, which has declined from April's 41.46% peak, suggesting meaningful covering has already occurred. A confirmed borrow rate spike or new formulary coverage win for Neffy would be the triggers to re-evaluate for top_setup elevation. |
| PCT | 4/7 | PCT has the highest confirmed borrow rate in the 30-name universe at 6.01% (with only 1.9M shares available), combined with 75%+ institutional concentration anchored by Sylebra Capital's 55.99% stake and 8.46 DTC. These are the mechanical preconditions for a violent squeeze. However, the June 2026 $395M capital raise (convertibles + equity) drove the stock from ~$14 to ~$7.90 and added ~18–25M new shares to the float, neutralizing near-term squeeze dynamics. Best re-evaluated after the newly issued shares are fully absorbed and/or Ironton Facility reaches a commercially meaningful production rate milestone. |
| GRPN | 3/7 | GRPN is the most-shorted stock in the universe at 55.77% SI with 11.3 DTC, providing the raw fuel for a violent squeeze if buying pressure emerges. The critical missing element is a cost catalyst: the borrow rate is only 0.54%, meaning shorts pay negligible carrying costs and face no urgency to cover. Price is also down 27% in 30 days, validating the short thesis near-term. The August 5, 2026 Q2 earnings date is the next credible ignition event; watch for abnormal call-options volume or a sharp borrow-rate spike in the weeks prior. |
| AI | 3/7 | AI (C3.ai) carries 42.88% SI and 10.55 DTC with the clearest options signal in the universe: a single-session surge of 60,000 call contracts on $8.50–$9 strikes (representing 6M underlying shares) with a bullish 0.45 OI P/C ratio and 57.61% 30-day IV. The squeeze fuel exists, but the ignition is missing: FY2026 earnings are past (June 3), borrow cost is unconfirmed as elevated, and the stock is at 52-week lows. A positive fundamental surprise or confirmed borrow-rate spike would re-engage this setup. |
