Bears Swarm AI and Auto Names

Short sellers turned up the heat this week. The biggest mover is SHAZ — SharonAI Holdings — whose SI % of Free Float exploded from 12.8% to 54.5% in just seven days. That's a 41-point jump. Bears are clearly betting against the AI name hard.

WOLF (Wolfspeed) remains the most shorted stock in the dataset. Its SI % FF now sits above 103%. Availability of shares to borrow has hit zero. That squeeze setup is extreme.

In the auto rental space, CAR (Avis Budget Group) climbed to 48.2% SI % FF, up 2.3 points on the week. Rival HTZ (Hertz) holds 43.3%. Both names remain heavily targeted as EV fleet costs bite.

AI chip name CBRS (Cerebras Systems) saw short interest rise 6.8 points to 32.4%. Bears appear to be circling the AI chip space broadly, with news noting insiders cashing out across AI names.

Social favourites GME sits at 13.9% SI % FF — relatively stable. TSLA remains lightly shorted at just 2.9%, while NVDA holds a mere 1.3%.

The week's theme is clear: bears are rotating into AI and distressed names while leaving mega-caps alone.
