For investors looking for potential short squeeze plays on a market rally or stocks disliked the most by investors on a market decline, below we provide a list of the 25 stocks in the Russell 1,00 with the highest short interest as a percentage of float. As shown, Chipotle Mexican Grill ranks highest with 41.7% of its float sold short. Macerich (MAC) ranks second at 35.92%, followed by ADS, PNRA, SOHU, and SPWRA. Other notables on the list include SHLD, PCLN, Citi, ISRG, WYNN, and LVS. As mentioned earlier in this post, these stocks should outperform if the overall market resumes its rally due to short covering. If the market heads decidedly lower, however, the shorts will probably just pile on more.
