CHEC · Chenghe Acquisition III Co. · Short Interest
Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
“In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern", management has determined that the Company currently lacks the liquidity it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are issued as it expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In addition, management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Window, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the mandatory liquidation date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after March 17, 2027. The Company cannot assure its shareholders that its plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.”View the 10-Q filed Aug 5, 2026

Positioning score 23.5 + catalyst boost 0 (total capped at 100). This is a screening index, not a probability of a squeeze.
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.
Assessment prepared 2026-09-21 18:28 UTC. Options model values may come from a cached snapshot; their original computation time is not supplied. Open interest has its own effective date.
