A Benzinga Pro screen of stocks with market caps above $2 billion and 14-day average volume above 1 million shares was run on Sept. 25, 2026 and turned up the group. Several of them also trade heavily, meaning a lot of borrowed shares could come back into the market fast if a catalyst hits.

Venture Global Inc. (NYSE: VG ) stands out with short interest at 80.47% of its float, the highest on the screen by a wide margin. The company is also the largest on the list, with a $32.19 billion market cap and about 14.47 million shares changing hands on an average day.

Minimed Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MMED ) ranks second at 47.64% and a $5.61 billion valuation.

CleanSpark Inc. (NASDAQ: CLSK ) shows 42.81% short interest, with average volume of 20.67 million shares.

Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR ) is at 37.06%. Both companies have leaned into AI and high-performance computing as a second business alongside mining. Bears appear doubtful.

Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS ) posts 40.96% short interest. It is also the most heavily traded stock on the list, averaging 82.57 million shares a day. Liquidity on that scale can speed up a squeeze once it starts.

Highly shorted stocks are battlegrounds where negative fundamentals meet speculative trading.​ Short squeezes can deliver huge, fast gains, but at high risk and volatility.​ Monitoring the short interest leaderboard can help identify which stocks might be the next short squeeze, but timing such trades remains extremely challenging.​ Always conduct due diligence, as the volatility often reflects deep underlying risks and business uncertainty.
