Current Positioning (15.99% of float): TNXP’s short interest is considered moderately elevated. According to market benchmarks:
- Below 10%: Indicates positive investor sentiment with minimal bearish positioning
- 10-20%: Moderate short interest suggesting mixed sentiment (TNXP current range)

- Moderate liquidity exists to unwind short positions
- Short squeeze risk is present but not extreme
- Any rapid price increase could force short covering, potentially amplifying upward momentum
Recent Trend (Sep-Oct 2025): Short interest peaked at 22.03% on September 30, 2025 (1.93M shares), coinciding with the post-FDA approval stock price decline. The subsequent decrease to 15.99% suggests:

⚠️ Short Interest Investment Implications
For Bulls: Elevated short interest (15.99%) combined with high borrow costs (70.91% APR) creates potential for a short squeeze if positive catalysts emerge. Any unexpected positive news regarding TONMYA™ commercialization, revenue beats, or favorable reimbursement decisions could force rapid short covering and amplify upward price momentum.
For Bears: Current short positioning reflects market skepticism about commercialization execution, dilution concerns from ATM offerings, and uncertainty about revenue ramp. Short sellers appear to be betting on continued price pressure despite FDA approval, suggesting they view downside risks as outweighing upside potential.
Catalysts That Could Trigger Short Covering
- Positive TONMYA™ Commercial Launch Data — Prescription volumes, patient enrollment, revenue beats
- Favorable Reimbursement Announcements — Insurance coverage, payer agreements, formulary inclusions
- Strategic Partnerships or M&A Interest — Biotech partnerships, distribution deals, acquisition interest
- Better-than-Expected Quarterly Earnings — Revenue surprise, gross margin improvement, cost controls
- Analyst Upgrades — Price target increases, rating changes from negative to positive
- Positive Clinical Data — Sirexatamab or pipeline asset developments
Risk Factors Supporting Current Short Thesis
- Stock down 78.9% from August 2025 peak — Despite FDA approval, market skepticism remains
- Large ATM offering authorization — $400M offering authorization vs. $129M market cap = extreme dilution risk
- Increasing quarterly losses — $16.83M Q1 → $28.3M Q2 = +69% loss acceleration
- Competitive pressure — Generic alternatives (pregabalin, duloxetine) already established
- Historical shareholder dilution — Two reverse splits in 12 months (1:32 and 1:100)
- Cash burn concerns — Increasing R&D costs offset by limited near-term revenue visibility
? Short Squeeze Risk Assessment
Overall Squeeze Probability: MODERATE (35-45%)
Squeeze Catalysts (Could Force Rapid Covering):
- Strong Q4 2025 TONMYA™ prescription data (Nov/Dec announcement)
- Medicare/Medicaid coverage decision (typically 90 days post-approval = ~late January 2026)
- Unexpected strategic partnership announcement
- Significant analyst upgrade or major institution buying
Anti-Squeeze Factors (Reduce Squeeze Probability):
- Large ATM offering available (~$400M) = cap on share price appreciation
- High cash burn = likely dilution coming
- Competitive market dynamics = limited pricing power
- Gradual revenue ramp more likely than explosive growth
Bottom Line: While short squeeze potential exists (elevated short interest + high borrow costs), it requires a meaningful positive catalyst. The ATM offering and cash burn concerns create a natural ceiling on any rally.
