Short sellers made sharp moves this week. SharonAI Holdings tops the list for biggest jump. Its SI % of Free Float leapt from 11.9% to 33.2% in just seven days — a 21-point spike. Shares to borrow are nearly gone. Availability sits at just 4.9% of short interest.
Avis Budget Group remains a firm bear favourite. SI hit 47.5% of FF, up 7 points from last week. Short sellers see continued pressure on the car rental giant.
Grindr drew fresh bearish attention. SI climbed from 16.7% to 22.5%. The social dating platform is now one of the week's fastest-rising short targets.
Cerebras Systems is closely watched. SI stands at 31.6% of FF. Availability is zero — there are simply no more shares left to borrow.
On the unwind side, Chewy shorts are easing slightly. SI dipped from 71% to 69.3%. Still heavily shorted, but bears are trimming.
In the news, DraftKings slid as the Fed signalled a hawkish stance. SI sits at 8.6%. PayPal is generating options buzz. Availability is a very wide 1,468% — shorts remain easy to put on for now.
