Short sellers made bold moves this past week. SHAZ — SharonAI Holdings — saw the most dramatic shift. Its short interest jumped from 12.8% to 54.5% of free float in just seven days. That's a 41.7 percentage point spike. Availability sits at just 5.3%, signalling shares to borrow are nearly exhausted.
WOLF (Wolfspeed) remains in extreme territory. Short interest hit 103% of free float — up from 95% last week. Bears are doubling down on the struggling chip maker despite cost to borrow at 7.9%.
AI chip developer CBRS (Cerebras Systems) also drew fresh shorts. SI rose from 25.6% to 32.4% over the week. Sentiment around AI hardware names appears increasingly divided.
Rental car group CAR (Avis Budget) holds steady at 48.2% short, creeping up 2.3 points. Bears remain firmly planted in the seat.
On the flip side, FCEL surged 36% after analysts scrambled to revise targets. Its SI sits at just 8.2%, with availability near 590% — meaning short sellers face little friction covering positions.
GME stays in the spotlight ahead of a July 7 eBay deadline. Short interest stands at 13.9%, with ORTEX data noting shorts are holding firm for now.
