Due Diligence

everything to check before the bell, in one place

The read at a glancehover or tap any tag for what it means

No red flags in the free checks - normal float, borrow and filings.

Float & Liquidity

Shares outstandingShares outstandingEvery share the company has issued: 20.5M (Medium tier).Why it matters: This is a float proxy, not true free float. 20.5M

Free floatFree floatShares actually free to trade after removing insider and institutional holdings: 15.0M (73% of shares out).Why it matters: Float, not shares outstanding, is what sets how violently a stock can move. A smaller float means sharper moves.15.0M73%

Market capMarket capPrice × shares outstanding = $411.0M.Why it matters: Nano/micro-caps are thin and volatile - a single large order can move them.$411.0M

Volume todayVolume today38K shares traded so far today (ET session, incl. pre/after-hours).Why it matters: Compare it to the float - see rotation below. High volume on a small float is the momentum tell.38K

Float rotationFloat rotationVolume ÷ float = 0% of float traded today.Why it matters: Above ~1× means real momentum; several times over is an extreme, high-emotion tape.0% float

Insider + inst. heldInsider + inst. heldInsiders and institutions together hold 27.2% (27.20% institutional).Why it matters: The rest is the tradeable float. High combined ownership tightens the float further.27.2%

Short & Borrow

BorrowBorrowEasy to borrow - shares are readily available.Why it matters: Hard-to-borrow names can squeeze because shorts cannot be added freely.Easy

Short % of floatShort % of float58K shares sold short = 0.4% of float (FINRA, as of 2026-08-14).Why it matters: Above ~20% is classic squeeze territory. The rate of change matters as much as the level.0.4%

Days to coverDays to coverShorts would need ~1.3 day(s) of average volume to buy back their position.Why it matters: Higher = a squeeze takes longer to unwind and can run harder.1.3

SSR (Reg SHO)SSR (Reg SHO)Not active. It triggers after a 10%+ drop from the prior close.Why it matters: When active, shorts can only sell on an uptick, for the rest of that day and the next.Not active
