The Fintel Short Squeeze Score is a proprietary, multi-factor quantitative model designed to identify companies with the highest potential for a short squeeze. This score provides a data-driven perspective on the risk of short sellers being forced to cover their positions, which can lead to rapid price appreciation.
Understanding the Short Squeeze Score
- Quantitative Model: The score is the result of a sophisticated model that integrates several key metrics.1
- Key Factors: It primarily considers short interest, the company's float, and short borrow fee rates. Other metrics are also incorporated to provide a comprehensive assessment.1
- Score Range and Interpretation: The score ranges from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a greater risk of a short squeeze relative to other companies, with 50 representing the average.1
- Update Frequency: The Short Squeeze Score is updated intraday, providing timely insights into market dynamics.1
This score can be a valuable tool for investors looking to identify potential short squeeze candidates or to assess the risk associated with short positions in a particular stock. Fintel provides Short Squeeze Leaderboards for various markets, including the US, Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong, though full access typically requires a subscription.1
