Bears Pile Into AI and Chips Names

Short sellers are moving fast. The biggest story of the week is SHAZ — SharonAI Holdings — where SI jumped from 12.7% to 54.6% of free float in just seven days. That's a 42-percentage-point surge. Borrow costs hit 10.3% and availability is nearly gone at just 5%.

WOLF — Wolfspeed — remains in extreme territory. SI stands at 103.5% of free float, up 16 points in a week. Zero availability left. Bears are doubling down on the struggling chip maker with no easy exit in sight.

HTZ — Hertz — is flashing squeeze signals. Utilization hit 95.3% today, near its 52-week peak. Availability collapsed to just 5.7% of short interest. With 44% of free float shorted, any positive catalyst could force rapid covering.

On the meme side, GME ticked up to 14.1% SI, a small but steady rise. COIN edged down slightly to 11.1%.

Bears are retreating from SATS, with SI dropping nearly 3 points to 29.2%. SPRY remains heavily shorted at 58.3% despite a small pullback.

TSLA and NVDA stay lightly shorted at 2.9% and 1.3% respectively — bulls still dominate both names.
