Bears Pile Into SharonAI, Wolfspeed Hits 101%

Short sellers have been busy this week. SHAZ saw the biggest weekly jump among mid-caps. Its short interest as a percentage of free float leapt from 12.4% to 50.7% in just seven days — a 38-point surge.

WOLF (Wolfspeed) sits even higher in absolute terms. SI % FF hit 100.9%, up from 92.3% last week. Cost to borrow climbed to 7.8%. That's one of the most extreme short positions in the US market right now.

CAR (Avis Budget) is another name bears are loading up on. SI jumped nearly 8 points to 48.1%.

On the squeeze watchlist, MARA leads social favourites with 25.1% SI % FF. RIVN sits at 17.8% and SOFI at 14.8%. GME remains elevated at 12.7%.

On the other side, KSS (Kohl's) and AAL (American Airlines) both saw short interest fall over 2 points — shorts covering as those names recover ground.

TSLA stays lightly shorted at just 2.9% of float. NVDA is even lower at 1.3%. Mega-caps remain largely off short sellers' radar.
