Ondas, Wolfspeed, and Xponential Fitness flagged as short-squeeze candidates

The stocks are described as having elevated short interest, paired with possible near-term catalysts that MarketBeat says could drive forced covering.

MarketBeat Ratings highlights three US-listed companies it frames as potential short-squeeze candidates: Ondas Holdings, Wolfspeed, and Xponential Fitness, citing heavy short interest and generally bearish analyst sentiment.

The outlet notes that while a short squeeze can attract contrarian buying when short sellers are forced to cover, the timing is difficult to predict and may end quickly if it begins.

In the case of Ondas Holdings, MarketBeat points to consistent, elevated short interest, stating it represents more than 42%, and includes the company’s listed share and trading context as of October 2, 2026.

MarketBeat also emphasizes that investors would still need to judge whether each name is more likely to experience a squeeze or a more conventional decline.
