Short sellers had a busy week. Wolfspeed tops the charts with SI hitting 130% of free float — up nearly 27 points in seven days. Zero shares are available to borrow. That extreme reading reflects deep skepticism around the chipmaker's finances.
Lucid Group also saw pressure build. SI climbed to 39.2% of FF, up 7 points on the week. Cost to borrow sits at a punishing 77.9% APR, signalling just how contested the stock is.
Frontier Group hit 42.2% of FF, rising 8.6 points over the past week. Bears are betting the low-cost airline faces ongoing margin pain.
One of the biggest weekly movers was WaterBridge Infrastructure. Its SI exploded from 31.7% to 85.5% — a 54-point jump. That is a dramatic shift in a single week.
On the other side, Avis Budget Group saw short covering. SI fell nearly 8 points to , though bears remain heavily positioned.
Restaurant Brands International was a surprise new entrant. SI jumped 8.2 points to 14.8% of FF. Bears see trouble for the Burger King parent.
Bitcoin volatility bled into Strategy Inc, where SI sits at 12.2% of FF as Bitcoin tests key support. Meanwhile, social media favorites GameStop and AMC Entertainment remain quiet at 13.7% and 8.2% respectively — no fresh squeeze catalyst in sight.
