Carver Bancorp (NASDAQ:CARV) stock is catching the attention of retail investors Monday morning after it was called out as a poetical short-squeeze candidate.

Will Meade, a former hedge fund manager that shares investment insight with his nearly 200,000 followers on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), shined the light on CARV stock today. He pointed out that it is the most shorted stock on the market with a 68% short interest.

With Meade bringing attention to CARV stock today, shares are seeing incredibly heavy trading. As of this writing, more than 2 million shares of the stock have changed hands. That’s a massive climb from the company’s daily average trading volume of roughly 448,000 shares.

Carver Bancorp was founded in 1948 with the goal of serving African American communities. It’s continued to do so since its founding and is now one of the largest African American-operated banks in the U.S.

Carver Bancorp headquarters is located in Harlem, N.Y. The majority of its eight locations continue to serve customers in middle-to-low income areas. It was designated by the U.S. Treasury Department as a Community Development Financial Institutions for its “community-focused banking services and dedication to the economic viability and revitalization of underserved neighborhoods.”

CARV stock was up 10.4% as of Monday morning and is up 86.1% since the start of the year.
