Short sellers have been busy ahead of quarter-end. The most dramatic move belongs to WBI (WaterBridge Infrastructure). Its SI % of Free Float exploded from 32% to nearly 73% in just seven days — a 40-point jump.
WOLF (Wolfspeed) remains the most extreme case. SI sits at 117% of free float. Shares available to borrow have hit zero. Short sellers added another 16 points in the past week alone. Cost to borrow stands at 9.2% APR.
CBRS (Cerebras Systems) also caught fresh bearish attention. SI climbed from 32% to 38% of free float this week. Bears appear sceptical of the AI chip firm's valuation.
On the squeeze side, LUCK (Lucky Strike Entertainment) saw short interest fall nearly 4 points to 20.6%. That unwinding could support the stock further.
Popular social media names show little change. GME dipped slightly to 13.5% SI. TSLA sits at just 2.9%. and remain barely shorted at around 1%.
Quarter-end is driving options activity and insider selling across names like NKE and MU — watch for volatility into the close.
