Bears Swarm AI Stocks as Wolfspeed Hits 103%

Short sellers stepped up pressure on several high-profile names this week. Data as of June 18 shows some striking moves.

SHAZ — SharonAI Holdings — saw the biggest weekly jump. Its SI % of FF exploded from 12.8% to 54.5% in just seven days. That's a +41.7 percentage point surge. Availability of shares to borrow sits at just 5.3%. Shorts are piling in fast.

WOLF Wolfspeed remains the most heavily shorted name tracked. SI % of FF hit 103% — effectively the entire free float is sold short. Zero shares are available to borrow. A short squeeze here could be violent.

AI chip challenger CBRS — Cerebras Systems — added 6.8 points this week to reach 32.4% SI % of FF. Bears are growing skeptical of its lofty $8B valuation.

Fox Corporation — a less obvious target — saw SI climb 2 points to 16%, coinciding with renewed media sector scrutiny.

On the other side, SPRY ARS Pharmaceuticals saw shorts cover sharply. SI fell 5.3 points to 55%. BIRK Birkenstock also shed 3.5 points.

Retail favorites remain watched. GME sits at 13.9% and MSTR at 11.9%. NVDA bears remain minimal at just 1.25%.
