// NVDA ranked on Tapeboard's 0-100 short squeeze leaderboard · components disclosed below · methodology fully published
This score isn't static — short interest re-settles every two weeks and NVDA's borrow fee can spike intraday. Tapeboard re-scores NVDA every day, ranks it against the full live squeeze board, and pairs it with a real-time scanner and watchlist — so you catch the setup changing, not a snapshot. Free, no card.
How NVDA got to 12 / 100
The NVDA 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| SI %Float | 36% | - @ Aug 14, 2026 | - |

Frequently asked questions about NVDA squeeze risk
What does a Short Squeeze Score of 12 / 100 mean for NVDA?
A score of 12/100 for NVDA 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 NVDA squeeze data?
NVDA'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 NVDA on the FINRA threshold list?
As of the most recent FINRA file, NVDA is not on the threshold list. The list is published end-of-day and a ticker can move on or off based on cumulative settlement failures over rolling five-day windows. See stocks currently on the threshold list.
