Frequently asked questions about LEU squeeze risk
What does a Short Squeeze Score of 30 / 100 mean for LEU?
A score of 30/100 for LEU 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 LEU squeeze data?
LEU'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 May 15, 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 LEU on the FINRA threshold list?
Yes, LEU 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.
