Short sellers are piling into HTZ at a pace not seen in months. Short interest jumped nearly 11 percentage points in seven days. It now sits at 59.2% of free float. Availability has hit zero — there are no shares left to borrow.
CRWV, the AI cloud infrastructure darling, is also drawing heavy fire. Short interest rose 4.8 points to 28.4% of free float this week. With a $36.6B market cap, any squeeze could be violent.
Micro-cap shorts are making even bigger moves. NUWE saw short interest explode from 77.8% to 216.2% of free float in just seven days — a 138-point swing. JEM and QUCY also saw massive spikes, typical of heavily shorted small-cap plays prone to sudden reversals.
On the meme front, GME sits at 13.8% short interest with little change. MSTR short sellers are actually retreating — SI dropped half a point to 11.6%, suggesting reduced bearish conviction on the Bitcoin proxy.
DAL shorts trimmed positions ahead of earnings this week. Short interest fell slightly to 3.5%. Bears are wary. With earnings season now kicking off, crowded short positions carry real squeeze risk.
