There is no short-squeeze setup here.

Reported short interest is effectively zero. As of the most recent FINRA reporting dates, AABB shows anywhere from 1 share to a few hundred thousand shares short, against a float in the billions. Short interest as a percentage of float rounds to 0.00%, with days-to-cover consistently at 1.00. That alone kills the squeeze narrative.

What pumpers point to instead is “short volume.” That is not short interest. FINRA short volume includes market-maker activity, intraday hedging, internalization, and liquidity provision. Most of those shares are opened and closed the same day. They do not accumulate into a trapped short position. High short volume with near-zero short interest means positions are being flattened, not trapped.

Borrow rates are also normal. AABB borrow fees are low single digits and stable. No scarcity. No forced covering pressure. If a squeeze were real, borrow would be expensive and availability tight. Neither is true here.

Fails-to-deliver are small and intermittent. Dollar values are trivial. There is no sustained or escalating FTD pattern that would indicate structural settlement stress or naked shorting pressure.

Now add the supply side. Outstanding shares exploded from roughly 3.6B at year-end 2024 to over 4.6B by September 2025, with massive issuances tied to debt conversions, acquisitions, and dividends. That is continuous dilution into any rally. A squeeze requires constrained supply. This has the opposite.

The reality is simple:
No meaningful short interest.
No borrow stress.
No delivery stress.
Massive and ongoing dilution.

Price spikes here are liquidity events driven by promotion and volume, not shorts being forced to cover. The “short squeeze” argument does not survive contact with the actual data (see below).
