Short Squeeze List
High short interest stocks where insiders are also buying — the ultimate contrarian setup.
Short squeeze setups are speculative by nature. But when a heavily-shorted stock also shows meaningful insider buying, insiders are telling you something the short sellers may have wrong. This screen finds the overlap — names with both high short interest and recent IQS-scored insider purchases.

How the Squeeze Score works
The score blends the three numbers that drive a short squeeze, each from the latest reported short-interest data:
- Short % of Float (50%) — how much of the tradeable share count is sold short. The more shorts in the stock, the more buying pressure a squeeze can create.
- Days to Cover (35%) — short interest ÷ average daily volume. The longer it would take shorts to buy back their shares, the harder a squeeze is to escape.
- Month-over-month change (15%) — rising short interest means bears are adding pressure into the name.
Scores of 70+ flag “High” squeeze potential, 40–69 “Elevated.” Short-interest data is reported on a delay (bi-monthly settlement) and is informational, not a trade recommendation.
