ALGS · Aligos Therapeutics, Inc. · Short Interest
Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
“Our recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have devoted our resources to our research and development activities and have experienced significant operating losses since our inception. Furthermore, we expect to continue devoting substantial capital to the research and development of our drug candidates. We plan to raise additional capital to fund continued operations beyond the fourth quarter of 2026. We are taking steps to identify access to future capital and expect to be able to access capital in the future. However, there can be no assurance that any additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that we do not obtain additional funding, it may be necessary to significantly reduce the scope of operations to reduce the current rate of spending, which could include reductions in staff and the need to delay, limit, reduce or terminate current or future product development, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, the perception of our ability to continue as a going concern may make it more difficult for us to obtain funding for the continuation of our operations, or necessitate that we obtain funding on less favorable terms, and could result in the loss of confidence by investors, our partners and employees.”View the 10-Q filed Aug 6, 2026

Method and coverage limits
Factor percentiles compare eligible primary operating-company stocks reporting short interest at the latest settlement date (2026-08-31). The weighted mean uses short interest 30%, days to cover 20%, price vs VWAP 15%, short-volume trend 15%, short-interest change 10%, and fails-to-deliver 10%. Missing factors redistribute their weight; incomplete coverage is not evidence of low risk. Price, volume, and earnings boosts add 10 each, capped at 20.
Shares outstanding are not free float. Borrow fees, utilization, lendable supply, recalls, and dealer inventory are not measured. Short-sale volume does not measure the change in open shorts; fails to deliver are not a borrow-cost measurement; price vs VWAP does not establish short sellers' entry prices. Earnings can move prices in either direction.
The weights are judgment-based, not calibrated to future squeeze outcomes. The separate options assessment below does not change this universe ranking.
Options positioning & squeeze sensitivity
Nearest expiration after today within 30 calendar days; same-day expirations and later maturities are excluded.
No active listed options were found.
Open interest has both a buyer and a seller; it does not reveal dealer hedge direction. Gross gamma sums both calls and puts without netting and uses a local 1% price-change approximation. It measures sensitivity, not predicted buying or a squeeze probability.
