Short sellers made bold moves this week. Wolfspeed saw its short interest hit 104.7% of free float — up nearly 16 points in seven days. Availability has collapsed to zero. Borrowing more shares is nearly impossible. The semiconductor firm remains one of the most heavily shorted stocks in the US market.
Cerebras Systems also drew fresh bear attention. Short interest climbed to 37.5% of float, up 5 points in a week. With zero shares available to borrow, short pressure is intense on the AI chip hopeful.
On the other side, shorts are covering at Salesforce. SI dropped 2.2 points to just 4.5% of float. Over 1,000% availability suggests bears have plenty of room to exit further. Analysts are increasingly bullish on the software giant.
GameStop still draws attention on social platforms. Short interest sits at 13.7% of float — down slightly on the week. No squeeze catalyst has emerged yet.
Meme-era darling NVIDIA meanwhile stays lightly shorted at just 1.25% of float. News that its banned AI chips are doubling in price on China's black market kept it trending online today.
