DBGI · Digital Brands Group, Inc. · Short Interest
Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
“The conditions described above — including the Company's recurring losses, negative operating cash flows, working capital deficit, the matured Bailey sellers' promissory note and the monthly payment obligations under the RallyTown secured note (see Note 7) — raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and the Company's plans depend in significant part on its ability to sell equity securities under the at-the-market facility and the equity line of credit and to realize expected revenues from its collegiate apparel program, which are subject to market conditions and other factors, certain of which are not within the Company's control. After considering these conditions and management's plans described above, management has concluded that its plans cannot be considered probable of being effectively implemented and of fully mitigating these conditions within twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued, because the plans depend in significant part on the sale of equity securities and other financing transactions that are not solely within the Company's control. Accordingly, substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists.”View the 10-Q filed Aug 19, 2026

Method and coverage limits
Factor percentiles compare eligible primary operating-company stocks reporting short interest at the latest settlement date (2026-09-15). 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

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.
