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
Hedge funds bought Hertz shares while short interest rose, adding to the squeeze setup. The trading-trends screenshot shows 18.2 million shares bought versus 1.57 million sold by hedge funds in Q2 2026; short interest subsequently climbed toward 125 million shares by October. Retail was shaken out as funds accumulated. x.comÂ
1-800-Flowers could see a massive short squeeze like Avis Budget's, with 30-40% of its float sold short. x.comÂ
Avis Budget Group looks like a great short on the way down because its roughly 500% rise over the past month appears to be just a short squeeze, with no fundamental reason or even buyout speculation behind it. x.comÂ
Avis Budget is undervalued even at a $15 billion market cap, when CoreWeave carries a $62 billion market cap on half the revenue. 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
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
KULR Technology is set up for a short squeeze, with short interest above the 20% threshold on a float of 44M shares. It makes batteries for defense, transportation and space, reports earnings tomorrow after the bell and has technical momentum, with $6.00 the next major level. x.comÂ
Aditxt's tiny float makes it a high-probability squeeze candidate after its $150M Ignite merger catalyst. The float is only about 800K shares with 11.67% short interest, and the stock jumped 87% premarket. It has done multiple reverse splits this year, at 1:27 and 1:8, and is down 99.99% year to date, so extreme volatility is expected. x.comÂ
Avis Budget's 509% one-month surge is an institutional short squeeze that will most likely end as holders take record profits. SRS and Pentwater locked up over 100% of the supply, 54% of the stock was sold short, and Pentwater's large call block forced delivery of shares that didn't exist. The squeeze could technically go on only if institutions coordinated, which is illegal. x.comÂ
Velo3D carries high short-squeeze risk after a strong first quarter. It beat Q1 with 48% revenue growth and jumped 23% pre-market, while short interest is 29.3% of a 13.76M-share float. High short interest plus strong earnings is squeeze fuel, with squeeze risk put at 75%. x.comÂ
