Short sellers moved aggressively into several names this week. The biggest mover was SHAZ. SharonAI Holdings saw its SI % FF jump 38 points in seven days. It now sits at 50.7% of free float. Availability is nearly zero at just 3.6% — a sign of intense borrowing pressure.
WOLF remains the most extreme case in the market. Wolfspeed short interest now tops 100% of free float. Availability has hit 0%. Bears are fully dug in on the battered chip maker.
AI chip firm CBRS — Cerebras Systems — added 6.4 points this week. SI % FF is now 31.8%. Like Wolfspeed, availability is zero. Squeeze risk is building.
CAR (Avis Budget Group) also jumped nearly 8 points to 48.1% SI % FF. Shorts are clearly targeting the rental car sector.
On the squeeze side, ASTS — AST SpaceMobile — added 2.3 points to 22%. The space-connectivity stock remains a battleground with growing short interest but limited availability.
In positive news for bulls, KSS (Kohl's) saw shorts trim 2.6 points this week. CRM (Salesforce) dropped 1.4 points.
Meanwhile, TTWO (Take-Two Interactive) surged on a GTA 6 pre-order announcement. SI is a modest 4.2% — shorts here face real squeeze risk on a catalyst-driven rally.
