Big Lots, II-VI Make Piper Sandler's Top 20 Short Squeeze List: Alpha Tactics

Seeking Alpha2022-01-10

Piper Sandler Technical Market Strategist Craig. W. Johnson is out with his latest quarterly Alpha Alignment Report, which screens 900 stocks for ahost of fundamental and technical factors.
Along with the headline Alpha Alignment Index, the report also screens for an equal-weighted Short Squeeze Index for the first quarter.
The 20 short-squeeze candidates are "based on Piper Sandler covered stocks that are exhibiting improving technical strength or evidence of a bottom, a Neutral or Overweight rating, and elevated short interest relative to their equity float," Johnson writes.
The stocks must also have a market cap of more than $750M.
The index has returned 50.8% since its inception at the start of 2020, slightly above the S&P 500(NYSEARCA:SPY).
In sector representation, Communication Services(NYSEARCA:XLC)drops off the list and Consumer Staples(NYSEARCA:XLP)makes an appearance. Healthcare(NYSEARCA:XLV)still has several names and Energy(NYSEARCA:XLE)candidates increase.
