These 5 stocks offer the most potential for a short squeeze this week for retail investors, according to Fintel

has released its proprietary weekly list of stocks it believes are most likely to be the target of a short squeeze in the near term, particularly amid recent surges in trader interest.

The short squeezing of so-called meme stocks has played out multiple times in 2021 as day traders on social-media sites like Reddit and TikTok band together to buy the same name. That, in turn, puts pressure on short sellers to close positions by purchasing shares, which pushes a stock even higher in the process.

The two highest-profile examples were GameStop and AMC Entertainment, both of which skyrocketed as retail investors led a buying frenzy and made millions at the expense of hedge funds, which are often responsible for much of the shorting activity. Stocks generally achieve meme status once they become popular on various forums, including Reddit's WallStreetBets and Stocktwits. Two of the stocks on this week's list below have achieved this label.

Detailed below are Fintel's top five picks for near-term short-squeeze candidates for the week of July 25, ranked by the firm's"Short Squeeze Score" calculation, for which 100 reflects maximum potential for a squeeze.
