IAUX · i-80 Gold Corp. · Short Interest
The latest filing states the doubt was alleviated.
“As disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, conditions including a working capital deficit, operating losses and an expectation of future losses raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed the recapitalization of its capital structure through the completion of a gold prepay agreement and net smelter return royalty agreement, and the issuance of convertible debentures, the proceeds of which were used to repay its outstanding indebtedness, with the exception of the Silver Purchase Agreement which remains outstanding. As of March 31, 2026, the Company believed it had sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they became due within one year after the issuance of these financial statements. The Company reassesses the relevant conditions and events each reporting period and accordingly, the Company continues to conclude that substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern does not exist.”View the 10-Q filed Aug 10, 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
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 2026-10-07 10:42 UTC. Options model values may come from a cached snapshot; their original computation time is not supplied. Open interest has its own effective date.
