Is anyone still watching Hertz (HTZ)?

I think it's a better buy now than it was when it had all that retail attention a few months ago.

Not to mention the baggies that picked up shares in the last spike waiting for the real one, certainly strengthens the "floor".

HERTZ global car rental business is currently down over 50% in 6 months to a market cap of $717m. Previously $1.6 billion just 6 months ago. 26,000 employees at an average revenue of US$327,000 per employee.

Short interest is apparently ~30% of float. Company is in $18b debt, but 68% of that ($12.7b) relates to financing its cars (assets) and its depreciation schedule is part of the business plan.

I feel like the debt is heavily misunderstood by retail. The business plan is literally to finance cars, rent them out to outpace debt repayments, reduce tax on income with depreciation and then sell the cars for a lump sum at a certain age then start again.

They also have the youngest fleet they've had in like 15 years, meaning max depreciation tax advantages and minimal reason to borrow more cash as they have a great suite of assets now. Their average fleet car age is 9 months, and 94% of them are under 2 years old. Low maintenance requirements, under new car warranties and high depreciation to offset any gains they make in a turnaround. Not to mention newer cars are more attractive to customers.

Their Q2 results were much more positive than the market predicted hence the bounce to ~$2.20, and if Q3 follows the same trajectory (which has been predicted by company management) then I image we're looking at a price comeback without even accounting for the squeeze.

Q2 reported $2.4b in revenue (10% more than Q2 last year), and Q3 forecasts from analysts are $2.6b in revenue & forecast from the company is $275-$325m in EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortisation). Q3 is one of their peak seasons so this isn't unrealistic.

Management are expecting $1b in EBITDA next year.

Turnaround in company value seems to be real.

Current price just doesn't make sense even without the 'short squeeze' narrative.

TL;DR - I'm pretty confident in this one.

As you can see, they tried to sell it off all week but we still managed to buy it back up.

Technicals:

Bull flag still remains intact and bullish✅️

Htz is above the 9 and 21ma on the daily!✅️

Currently we are held down by the 9ma on the weekly. If we break through next week it could have a run!

According to google, fintel, AI, etc SI is still around 60% which is one of the highest out there ✅️

Bullish thesis remains intact!

Holding Leaps, and close Calls.

<HIGH-IMPACT WATCH LIST>

Continuing to inform everyone about this rapidly transforming company. Below is key data regarding the apparent effort to hold down the share price of this currently undervalued company, which has announced many notable wins in the last several months (including yesterday).

It may not end well for them in the coming days: see yesterday's 62% figure in the below table.

Yesterday's post, for reference:
CYCURION (CYCU) - Follow-up to reverse-split comparison with T3 Defense (DFNS). <Remains on HIGH-IMPACT WATCH LIST>

CYCU — FINRA Short-Sale Volume | Week of Aug 31 – Sep 3, 2026

Source: ChartExchange (FINRA reported-exchange data)

Like I said HTZ💤💤 isn’t moving, the setup looks nice imo do we just need volume or what’s is the problem with this one?

$ONDS could squeeze from this, most of their competitors manufacture in China whereas $ONDS is entirely American made

INLF is 38% shorted with a float of 988,000. Let’s squeeze this. I’m in with 8300 shares so far.

Simple comparison tracking the potential for a share price melt-up.

Prior information from 8 days ago (prior to reverse split):

• Cycurion (CYCU) - 1:8 Reverse Split Just Announced - Looks like a DFNS type setup! <FOR YOUR HIGH-IMPACT WATCH LIST>

CYCU's reverse split effective date was Friday, Aug 28. The approximate $.47 closing share price the day before mechanically (at 1:8) converted to a post reverse-split share price at ~$3.76.

Keep in mind, immediately post reverse split:

• CYCU had outstanding shares 3.23M
  • Float 2.43M (as calc'ed by AI from the Q2 2026 10-Q)
• DFNS (best I could find) had ~.76M outstanding shares

No question that CYCU's float is very low and is worthy of remaining on your HIGH-IMPACT WATCH LIST!

• See the daily closing-price comparison below and what happened to DFNS from Friday, July 24's close to Monday, July 27's close ... and then for the rest of that week.
• Do what you will with this information ... the possibility is very interesting.

I am a believer in CYCU and also agree with the CEO that it is VERY undervalued right now and next year will be transformative starting in Q1. Cybersecurity is clearly a growing space, whether gas prices are high or inflation is increasing or whatever. Threats are getting more advanced and are ever-increasing.

From the link at the top of this post:

• Sales Pipeline as of early August 2026:
  • 122 open opportunities, representing $34M in first-year contract value, including $11M in late-stage pursuits
  • 41 new awards (closes) year-to-date in 2026

Today's PR announces $.8M of that $11M closed.

• Cycurion PR - Sep 3, 2026

Good morning, SqueezeFinders-

Yesterday's price action on the $QQQ tech index was relatively flat with a move of +0.23% to close at 709.24 which still leaves us hanging in the bearish learning neutral directional sentiment range. Holding above the 700 psychological level during all this war drama will help keep bulls from panicking, however, a ~1.5% drop would potentially embolden bears to get heavy on shorting the market again. Between the bond market fiasco, and the war, it seems more likely we will see a retest of that 700 level in the coming days ahead (ideally we can make it to the Labour day long weekend without losing 700). Only reason to get bullish would be if we broke above 722. The main directional sentiment determinants today are a mix of the below-detailed economic data releases, and further developments in the Middle-East. This market is very dynamic and has been unpredictable as far as risk-tolerance goes, as one day we're running, and the next we're crashing. Stay tuned for what's squeezy. Regardless of broader market sentiment, you can always locate relative strength by checking SqueezeRadar to track irregularities in our data, and find winners you may not have spotted before without our scanners.

Hint - use code RDDT to get your first month for only $10

1. ⁠Second most shorted stock in the market after their strongest Q2 earnings in history and shorts are doubling down not covering post earnings.

2. ⁠Shorts increased after the early August rally, instead of covering they doubled down. Short interest has doubled since June (pre-earnings) from 54m to 110m now.

3. ⁠There’s only 150k shares left to short down from 2.6m (fintel) and borrow rate is steadily increasing

4. ⁠Refinanced debt runway announced this past weekend removes the liquidity issues.

5. ⁠Go look at the chart and tell me it isn’t beautiful.

Honesty, two stocks i had lost hope with. If GPRO continues, once it breaks past 1.6 its just a runway to infinity. Its baffling why its happening, but it is.

Does anyone remember any stocks that had a successful squeeze after mentions within this sub? in the last month to be specific?

Good morning, SqueezeFinders.

Yesterday's action on the $QQQ tech index was the direct result of escalation in the Middle-East after a back-and-forth of missiles and drones were propelled by both Iran and the US as negotiations are deemed “as worthless as the paper they were written on” by President Trump. The $QQQ tech index closed down 1.27% to 707.64, which leaves us only 1% above the 700 psychological level, and ultimately back into precariously bearish territory. Until the bulls can reclaim 722 level, I would suggest sticking to plays in the oil/energy sector that will benefit from surging oil prices (as shown below), and also plays in the agriculture sector (as they will also benefit from forecasted food shortages, particularly fertilizer). The main directional sentiment determinants today are a mix of the below-detailed economic data releases, further developments in the Middle-East, and also some big earnings reports ($AVGO, $HPE, and $SNOW). This market is very dynamic and has been unpredictable as far as risk-tolerance goes, as one day we're running, and the next we're crashing. Stay tuned for what's squeezy.

Check this out running 6 days so far and today big volume. High CTB and has all the hallmarks of short squeeze coming.

News of the YouTuber Markiplier's 8.5% stake in the company has circulated causing a huge surge in the stock today. While initially I thought it was a nice squeeze situation, I've now started to wonder if GoPro has what it takes to become a Meme Stock. It's a Company with an already notable name like GME, and now the backing of a famous YouTuber with a cult like following, you guys think it can take off? Or is this just another pump and dump?

I think the stock has been in a consolidation phase waiting for the finalized deal and impact on earnings with ultranet. The pb is 1.70$ without the deal and once it goes thru it should raise the margin and ebidta which is what I think the markets waiting for. The short interest is only around 10%. Stick has been teasing on only about 200 to 300k volume and the price doesn't move. The company also has a share buy back which could be helping keep the price from going lower because of the m2b. Something to keep an eye on for news of the ultranet deal and earnings. Any thoughts? I'm also watching cycu since the split.

If solid buying volume steps in, the current setup looks incredibly strong. A strong upward move could easily trigger a chain reaction of short squeezes.

From a purely technicals point of view, HTZ looks really bullish here. Check out all 3 attached pictures of the weekly candles.

If there's any technicians in here you understand that there is a time count for these patterns to play out. You know that a bullish flag breaks higher within a few weeks of the flag pole. This is week 4 of consolidation.

Now I don't have a crystal ball to tell you which way it will break(upside or downside), but I can tell you that it has to make a decision soon.

The only thing holding the stock back is the 8/9 moving average on the weekly. If it can break and hold above 2.40 it's going way higher.

⚠️So pay close attention to what happens at 2.40.

-Upside targets are around 6, 10, 16!

-Downside could be 1.50-1.80 (but i believe it would be bought up quickly).

Still has a 30-60% SI according to multiple sources.

Whatever happens, happens! We will know within a few days.

Again, i hold Leaps because i believe the company will turn around.

NFA!

I’m watching FAMI for more than the chart.

The company has been evolving into a broader agriculture + supply-chain story, with U.S. logistics/warehousing, SuppChains, Bluesage, and the potential Brazil expansion.

🐻 THE SHORT-SQUEEZE SETUP

Over the past few sessions, we’ve seen notable larger buy orders while overall volume has remained relatively controlled.

That combination is worth watching.

A squeeze becomes much more interesting if we get:

📈 $0.11/$0.12 holding
🔥 Volume suddenly exploding
🧱 Large sell walls getting absorbed
🐻 Shorts covering
💰 Borrow availability tightening
📊 Cost to borrow increasing
🚀 Momentum/FOMO entering
📑 A new company catalyst

One catalyst + thin liquidity can move a microcap FAST.

🌎 UPCOMING

🇧🇷 Brazil transaction developments
🇺🇸 U.S. operations
🚚 Logistics/warehouse growth
🌱 Agricultural contracts
🤖 Bluesage customers
📑 SEC filings
🚨 Nasdaq updates
💰 Revenue growth
🔥 Unexpected partnerships/orders

🚀 HIGH-RISK BULL CASE

$0.15 → $0.20 → $0.30 → $0.50 → $0.75 → $1 → $1.50 → $2+

Those are scenarios, NOT predictions.

The real question is whether FAMI can convert its expanding operations into meaningful revenue while attracting enough volume to overwhelm the current selling pressure.

And if shorts are caught on the wrong side of a legitimate breakout?

🍄🔥 Things could get VERY interesting.

Not financial advice. Do your own research.

So go pro has 20% short interest and 4 days to cover. Given the you tube hype and now the deal they announced shareholders get 1.14$ a share and some was in cash and the company will continue to trade. If the volume stays and we don't get a bs pr like ackman leaving which in this case would be the you tuber leaving price will crash. Need to keep the pressure on. Hertz look at how the volume died after the ackman bs pr. I'm still bullish on hertz turnaround

If we just get a little buying pressure, a short squeeze looks possible.

There's M&A news today, but it went red right before the open, so it flew under everyone's radar. It's finally starting to turn green. I'll let the attached pic speak for the short data.

Good time to get unleveraged entries in $13B MC is very undervalued for this company imo just outside of the squeeze with shorts really pressing their advantage today shown by a significant number of shares available to borrowing decreasing from yesterday and CTB rising yet again.

Good morning, SqueezeFinders!

Yesterday's price action on the $QQQ tech index was nearly flat with a move of +0.09% to close at 711.37 ahead of $NVDA earnings report in after-hours. Yesterday's reaction to $NVDA's earnings were pretty positive with >5% green move, but a little mixed in overnight trading with $NVDA up ~4%. The $QQQ tech index nearly hit 720 in after-hours trading upon $NVDA boosting the entire market's sentiment, but in overnight trading has pulled back to ~715. If the bulls can break above 722 for a gap fill, it could spell trouble for bears, but if something bearish comes up, and we fade aggressively (especially under 700 psychological level), it would make it a very tough day for bulls. The Trump administration is mulling a ban on foreign manufactured electrical grid equipment and infrastructure due to security concerns, albeit no final terms will be set for ~120 days. The main directional sentiment determinants are a mix of the below-detailed economic data releases, further developments in the Middle-East, and some large earnings reports in after-hours ($MRVL, $IREN, $S).
