Monthly Report

The August 2026 Monthly Report Is Live

Eleven research firms published sixteen reports on fifteen companies in August, and nine of those targets closed the month lower. Fugazi Research's case against T3 Defense produced the steepest decline at 71.8%, though the median campaign moved its target just 1.5%, so the month underneath the headline was closer to flat than the average suggests. WolfPack Research takes Short King of the Month for its Flotek Industries report, which sent the stock down 33.4% on a contract cancellation the company had not disclosed.
