// GPRO ranked on Tapeboard's 0-100 short squeeze leaderboard · components disclosed below · methodology fully published

How GPRO got to 13 / 100
The GPRO squeeze score is a weighted sum of seven normalized components, short interest as a percentage of float, IBKR borrow fee, float utilization, FINRA CNMS daily short-volume ratio, days to cover, trailing 5-day price momentum, and the borrow fee's 5-day change. Each component is z-scored against a universe of roughly 500 active US equities, then combined with the weights shown below.

As of
- GoPro announced a $285 million all‑cash merger with Starman Optical, valuing shares at $1.14 each (≈29.5% premium). - Retail attention spiked after YouTuber Markiplier became the largest shareholder, driving a 40% rally and unusually high volume (RVOL 4.12×).
- The merger adds AI‑data‑center and defense exposure, potentially diversifying revenue beyond action cameras. - Elevated trading volume and retail interest suggest short‑term momentum could sustain price gains.
- FY‑2025 fundamentals show revenue down 18.7% YoY, net loss of $93 M, and negative EPS (‑$0.59). - Gross margin remains modest at 33.6% and operating cash flow is negative (‑$20.7 M).
- Short interest is low (≈24.9 M shares, days‑to‑cover 4.5) and squeeze score is weak (13.2/100), limiting short‑squeeze upside. - The stock remains well below its 52‑week high ($3.05) and trades at a deep discount to book value (‑$0.18/share).

GPRO 30-day borrow fee and short interest trend
Trailing-30-day series of two of the highest-signal squeeze inputs for GPRO, the IBKR borrow fee (cost to short the stock) and short interest as a percentage of float. Free per-ticker borrow-fee history is not published by Fintel or Ortex on their public pages.
// insufficient history, GPRO has fewer than 5 days of squeeze-score data on file. Sparkline returns once the daily ingest accumulates a full 30-day window (typically 2-3 weeks for newly-listed or newly-shorted tickers).
How the score is calculated
Tapeboard's short squeeze score (v2) weights short interest at 25%, borrow fee at 20%, float utilization at 15%, daily short-volume ratio at 15%, days to cover at 10%, 5-day momentum at 10%, and borrow-fee 5-day change at 5%. Sources: FINRA bi-monthly settlement data for short interest, IBKR Stock Loan Availability for borrow fees and utilization, FINRA CNMS daily short sale volume files for the daily short-volume ratio, and FINRA Threshold Securities List for the failures-to-deliver flag. Full methodology, including normalization formula, known limitations, and the reasoning behind each weight, is published at /methodology/short-squeeze-score.

Frequently asked questions about GPRO squeeze risk
What does a Short Squeeze Score of 13 / 100 mean for GPRO?
A score of 13/100 for GPRO indicates the structural squeeze conditions are weak today. That can change fast, short interest reports settle bi-monthly, and borrow fees can spike intraday on adverse news.
How fresh is the GPRO squeeze data?
GPRO's score recomputes once daily after the US market close (typically by 9 PM ET). Borrow fee, float utilization, and momentum refresh daily and are live. Short interest is settled as of Aug 14, 2026 and is held between readings, because FINRA publishes short interest on a settlement schedule, not daily. That is why the SI %Float row above is stamped with its own as-of date. Real-time short interest does not exist publicly in US markets.
Is GPRO on the FINRA threshold list?
Yes, GPRO appears on the current FINRA Threshold Securities List, meaning aggregate failures-to-deliver have exceeded the regulatory threshold for at least five consecutive settlement days. Threshold inclusion is a backward-looking confirmation of covering pressure. See all stocks on the threshold list today.
