Bears Pile Into AI and Chips — SharonAI Leads the Pack

Short sellers made bold moves this week. SHAZ (SharonAI Holdings) saw the biggest jump — SI % of Free Float rocketed from 12.4% to 50.7% in just seven days, a 38-point surge. Availability stands at just 3.6%, meaning shares to borrow are almost gone.

WOLF (Wolfspeed) remains in extreme territory. Short interest now tops 100% of free float — and availability has hit zero. Bears are locked in, with no fresh shares to borrow against it.

CAR (Avis Budget Group) is another big mover. SI rose nearly 8 points to 48.1% over the week. The car rental sector has faced pressure as oil price volatility eases and travel demand narratives shift.

AI chip play CBRS (Cerebras Systems) saw shorts grow to 31.8% of float, up 6.4 points. The stock gets regular attention on social platforms amid AI sentiment swings.

On the other side, KSS (Kohl's) saw shorts ease back — SI fell 2.6 points to 21.8%. HPQ (HP Inc.) also saw covering, dropping nearly 2 points to 9.3%.

Oil stocks dominate macro news this week as Iran tensions ease and glut fears resurface. That backdrop is weighing on energy shorts, with names like APA and AR drawing attention as potential "falling knives."
