Avis Budget is set up for the short squeeze of the year and can 10x from here. Two hedge funds own a combined 108%, holding 71% of the float plus more through derivatives, while 54% of the float is sold short. It will eventually fall 90%, but likely rises 2-5x first; trading it is risky, with put premiums ultra high. x.com x.comÂ
Recursion Pharmaceuticals is set up for a short squeeze after breaking out of a falling wedge, with 174M shares sold short. Average volume over the last 10 days has fallen to 11.6M, pushing days to cover up to 15. x.comÂ

Avis Budget Group looks set for a downdraft. Two funds hold 71% of the company and neither is flinching, since whichever one sells first would lose billions; that standoff looks like illegal collusion that legal discovery could eventually unearth. High volatility makes staying positioned for the decline attractive. x.com x.comÂ
Avis Budget could drop 60-70% or more if the broader market corrects by around 20%, possibly ending the way Sandisk did. Until then, it might keep burning short sellers. x.comÂ

Borealis Foods is set up for a short squeeze continuation. Short interest is about 335%, Fintel and Robinhood show no shares left to borrow, and volume has run about 100x normal, exceeding the entire share count in a day. A break above the high of day at $2.42 would confirm the next leg. x.com x.com x.comÂ
Wendy's, Xerox and Icahn Enterprises are set up for a short squeeze. They are the only stocks with over 30% short interest that pay dividends above 7%, so shorts pay heavily to stay short and lose more if prices rise. All three are in Stage 2 uptrends, and Wendy's and Xerox are retesting recent high-volume breakouts. A short-covering summer could start if the market breaks higher out of its consolidation. x.comÂ
Eastman Kodak looks set up for a short squeeze, with a small float of only 66 million shares. It is a speculative, small-size play. x.com x.comÂ
