Short sellers are often among the most disciplined investors on Wall Street, willing to bet against markets that everyone else is buying. The question is what happens when short sellers get the story wrong. The answer is often a sharp stock-price move higher. In that case, the correction works in investors’ favor, because a broken bear thesis can be good news for shareholders. Wendy’s: Industry Veteran Takes Charge
Wendy’s (NASDAQ: WEN) is a high-profile short-squeeze candidate, with its 33% short interest making it a target for meme-stock investors. The case for short interest is simple: sluggish growth, margin pressures and a lack of traction following managerial missteps. The caveat for short-sellers is that their view is often rear-oriented, focused on past results and failing to account for strategic shifts. As it stands, short interest is likely to remain high, keeping pressure on the stock, but upcoming catalysts could trigger a squeeze. Among those catalysts is new CEO Bob Wright. He is not only a veteran of Wendy’s, having served in several capacities before moving on to other opportunities, but is also credited with reinvigorating other brands. Those include Potbelly Corporation, which he grew and later sold for a profit. At Wendy’s, his efforts include store-count rationalization, unlocking international growth opportunities and prioritizing digital-first storefronts. Evidence of his impact may be seen in the Q2 earnings release expected in mid-August. Digital is a critical factor expected to drive strength on both the top and bottom lines, with benefits showing up quickly after deployment. Notable success stories using a digital-heavy model include industry leader McDonald’s, which supports traffic and growth with digital; Chipotle Mexican Grill, which does the same while also using digital to unlock margin; and Starbucks, which is following in Chipotle’s footsteps. Headwinds for Wendy’s stock include analyst sentiment, but that should be taken with a grain of salt. While analysts have reduced ratings and price targets over the trailing 12 months, lowering the consensus to Reduce, the underlying data are not uniformly bearish. Coverage remains solid, with 24 analysts tracked and ratings spread across Buy, Hold and Sell or equivalent categories. The price target likewise reflects a wide range of outcomes, with the low end setting a floor near 2026’s lows and the high end pointing to substantial upside if the turnaround gains traction. 
AST SpaceMobile’s Liquidity Supports Future GrowthAST Space Mobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) is another high-profile short-squeeze candidate, with short interest trending higher, hitting record levels in 2026 and running hot at above 20%. Short sellers are leaning into the trade because of cash burn, high valuation and execution risk, as highlighted by the loss of the BlueBird 7 satellite. It failed to reach proper orbit through no fault of its own. The biggest impact is on the timing of the service rollout, but the setback is limited. Not only will the company recoup the loss through insurance, but subsequent satellites are forecast to approach nearly twice the peak speeds. What the shorts get wrong is that this near-term execution story is backed by solid institutional support and long-term contracts with tier-one 5G service providers. It supports a shift from land-based towers, which limit service, to space-based direct-to-phone 5G access and global coverage for everyone, all the time. It is mission-critical to future telecommunications, including bridging the infrastructure gap between ground- and space-based operations. AST Space Mobile’s reported analyst rating is equally misleading. Pegged at Reduce, the bulk of the 10 ratings MarketBeat tracks are Hold or better, with the consensus target forecasting modest upside. Upcoming catalysts include the August earnings release, in which strategic progress is expected. Among the critical details will be cash burn, which bears will highlight, and the cash position, which is sufficient to sustain operations for the foreseeable future. Not only does the company have nearly $4 billion in liquidity, but many of its projects also benefit from non-dilutive government awards. Looking ahead, ASTS has a moat that should support its long-term success. By focusing on Earth-bound frequencies, massive space-based “cell towers,” and direct-to-phone connections, it can provide infrastructure rather than compete with the major carriers. In this light, its more than 40 existing agreements with carriers, including Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and Vodafone, provide instant, no-cost access to millions of subscribers looking for better, more consistent coverage. Starlink, which would like a piece of the action, is still years behind, having focused on different technology for its space-based internet service.
