# 20 Stocks to Watch With Short Squeeze Potential

Is the AI infrastructure trade back? What about **high beta, growth stocks**, are they safe to wade into? We can't answer those questions, but we can present the stats; bearish bettors are loading up on both.

The below screen finds stocks where the shorts might be at a big loss and therefore likely to begin covering. Obviously, there are quite a few assumptions so these would be very rough estimates.

To estimate the return for the shorts, Rocky went back over the past year of short interest reports to find when the shorts were added. Then he used the average price over the prior two weeks and estimated the shorts were added at that average price. Below are stocks where significant shorts have been added and they could be at a big loss. 

Bear in mind, this data is from the most recent reporting period (6/15).

The list is littered with growth stocks. Nebius Group NV (NBIS) leads the way, the AI infrastructure stock fresh off a **post-earnings pop**. **Quantum computing maven** D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) is also present, while copper stock Southern Copper (SCCO) and fintech Chyme Financial (CHYM) round out the list.
