Short sellers made bold moves last week. SHAZ (SharonAI Holdings) saw the biggest jump — short interest leapt from 12.7% to 54.6% of free float in just seven days. That is a 42 percentage point surge. Availability sits at just 5%. Shares are increasingly hard to borrow.
WOLF (Wolfspeed) remains an extreme case. Short interest hit 103.5% of free float — shorts now exceed the entire tradeable float. Availability has fallen to zero. Bears are deeply committed here.
Quantum computing names popped in after-hours trade after Trump signed executive orders backing the sector. IONQ carries 15.3% SI, RGTI holds 19% and QUBT sits at 32%. A squeeze in any of these names could be sharp.
On the cover side, EchoStar shed nearly 3 percentage points of short interest. Albemarle also saw bears retreat, down 1.5 points.
TSLA and META remain lightly shorted at 2.9% and 1.5% respectively. A Tata Electronics cyberattack reportedly leaked Apple and Tesla documents — worth watching for any fresh short interest build.
