Short sellers made bold moves this week. WaterBridge Infrastructure saw the biggest weekly jump. Its SI % of FF leapt from 31.7% to 85.5% — a 54-point surge in just seven days.

Wolfspeed remains the most extreme name on the board. Its short interest hit 129.9% of free float as of June 25. That's up from 103% a week ago. Zero shares are available to borrow. Borrow costs stand at 8.7% APR.

Frontier Group Holdings is another to watch. Bears added 8.6 percentage points this week. SI now sits at 42.2% of free float. Lucid Group also ticked up, reaching 39.2% — a 7-point rise on the week.

Fast food giant Restaurant Brands International caught fresh attention. SI jumped from 6.6% to 14.8% in seven days. That's one of the sharpest moves among large-caps this week.

On the squeeze side, Avis Budget Group saw bears retreat. Its SI dropped nearly 8 points to 40.2%. ORTEX news flagged that Eli Lilly bears are also on the run as the stock breaks out.

Alumis is one to watch heading into Monday. ORTEX flagged a sharp short jump ahead of its earnings report. BioCryst Pharmaceuticals shorts are rebuilding even as options traders turn bullish — a notable divergence worth monitoring.
