Bears Target Flying Cars and Wolfspeed

Short sellers are piling into some of the market's hottest stories. Wolfspeed leads the bearish pack. Its SI % of FF hit 129.9% — up nearly 27 points in a week. That is extraordinary pressure on a semiconductor name.

The eVTOL space is now firmly in the crosshairs. Archer Aviation saw short interest climb 4.4 points to 18.7% of free float. Joby Aviation rose nearly 2 points to 15.2%. Bears are clearly betting against the flying car rollout timeline.

AI infrastructure names are also attracting skeptics. CoreWeave short interest jumped 3.7 points to 23.6%. Nebius Group hit 26.4%, up 3.6 points. IREN climbed to 19.7% of free float. All three pulled back amid the rising pressure.

On the other side, Avis Budget saw shorts cover sharply. SI dropped nearly 8 points to 40.2%. Frontier Group remains heavily shorted at 42.2%, up 8.6 points in seven days.

GameStop sits at 13.7% — effectively flat on the week. No squeeze catalyst visible yet.

This is not financial advice.
