BROS - These stocks are on the most crowded shorts list - watch out above
The recent stock rally has made some crowded shorts more squeezable, according to S3 Partners' Ihor Dusaniswky.
Dusaniswky created a ranking of the most crowded shorts based on factors like total short dollars at risk, short interest as a true percentage of a company's tradable float, stock loan liquidity and trading liquidity.
Based on the firm's proprietary scoring method, the stock most at risk of seeing a short squeeze is Faraday Future Intelligent Electric ( FFIE ). An electric vehicle stock is also in second place with Canoo ( NASDAQ: GOEV ) calculated to be a very crowded short.
The other stocks in the top ten list of names most at risk of a short squeeze are Gossamer Bio ( GOSS ), Verve Therapeutics ( VERV ), Lightwave Logic ( LWLG ), Beam Therapeutics ( BEAM ), Cowen Group ( COWN ), Veru ( VERU ), Beyond Meat ( BYND ), and Fate Therapeutics ( FATE ).
Also ranking in the top 25 are Lordstown Motors ( RIDE ), Rocket Companies ( RKT ), Dutch Bros. ( BROS ), Fisker ( FSR ), Marathon Digital ( MARA ), GameStop ( GME ), and Lucid Group ( LCID ).
Dusaniswky reminded that having a high Squeeze Score does not guarantee that a stock will be squeezed, but noted that it does highlight stocks that a have a much higher squeeze potential than most other stocks in the market. Of note, the stocks in the top 25 list all have incurred double digit percentage mark-to- market losses over the last 30 days coupled with mark-to-market losses over the last seven days.
