Crowded short. If this turns, covering has to buy a large slice of the float.
Crowded short on a healthy name
Fundamentals are healthy and the stock is at a technical discount — this reads more like a crowded short on a quality name (the setup a squeeze needs) than a bet against the business.
Short % of float is from Finviz. Settlement history was unavailable.
