Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (FFIE) has recorded the largest increase in short interest among US-listed stocks, according to the latest FINRA settlement data from October 15, 2026. The short interest as a percentage of float jumped by 12.61%, bringing the total to a staggering 81.55%. This level of short interest is exceptionally high and places the stock in a category of extreme squeeze risk. While the FINRA data is based on the mid-month settlement, the magnitude of this position indicates a deep-seated conviction among short sellers regarding the company's financial viability. Market participants should be aware that with over 80% of the float sold short, any positive catalyst could trigger a violent short squeeze as traders scramble to cover their positions. This remains a high-risk, high-volatility name that requires constant monitoring of borrow availability and daily short volume.
