Bears Pile Into AI and EVs as Short Interest Shifts

Short sellers are making fresh moves this week. The data reveals big changes in several notable names.

SharonAI Holdings (SHAZ) leads all movers. SI jumped from 12.8% to 54.5% of free float in just seven days — a 41.7 percentage point spike. Cost to borrow sits at 10.4%. Availability of shares to borrow is just 5.3%. That's a squeeze setup worth watching.

Wolfspeed (WOLF) remains the most extreme short on the market. SI stands at 103% of free float. Availability is zero. Bears have no room to add — and nowhere to exit easily.

Cerebras Systems (CBRS) saw SI climb 6.8 points to 32.4%. The AI chip firm's IPO hype has clearly faded for skeptics. Availability is also zero there.

On the EV side, Lucid Group (LCID) is seeing shorts exit. SI dropped 2 points to 32.2%. Cost to borrow is high at 25.1%. That squeeze pressure may be forcing covers.

Avis Budget (CAR) sits at 48.2% SI after a 2.3-point rise this week. Rental car demand worries are keeping bears active.

Popular social names like GME (12.7%) and TSLA (2.9%) remain largely static. The real action is elsewhere.
