Bears Swarm Hertz as Wolfspeed Hits 112% Short

Short sellers made a bold move into HTZ this week. SI % FF jumped from 48% to 59% in just seven days. Zero shares are currently available to borrow. That's a recipe for fireworks.

WOLF sits at the top of the most-shorted list. Its SI hit 112% of free float. Cost to borrow is 9.3% APR. Bears are paying up to stay short. No shares are available to borrow — squeeze risk is elevated.

CHWY remains stubbornly under siege. SI % FF is 70%, holding above 67% all week. Short sellers are not backing off despite any recent price recovery.

AI cloud firm CRWV saw a sharp jump. SI rose from 20% to 28% over two weeks. Bears appear skeptical of its AI-driven valuation.

SOUN carries 41% SI % FF. The AI voice company stays social media's favourite battleground stock. Short sellers have held firm near these levels.

On the meme side, GME sits at 14% SI % FF. Options traders are stacking calls. A holiday-week squeeze can't be ruled out.

LCID bears eased slightly. SI dipped from 40% to 37% this week. Still, three in ten free float shares remain sold short.
