Short sellers ramped up bets against HTZ this week. Hertz now carries a massive 59.2% SI % of FF. That's up nearly 11 points in just seven days. With zero share availability left, borrowing more stock is essentially impossible.
CoreWeave is also drawing heavy attention. The AI infrastructure firm sits at 28.4% SI % of FF. Bears added nearly 5 points in a week. Despite a $36.6 billion market cap, shorts are not backing off.
The week's biggest story belongs to AXON. Axon surged 34% in seven days. Shorts were caught badly leaning the wrong way. SI % of FF sits at just 5.2%, with over 500% availability — bears had little firepower to defend positions.
LULU tells a different story. Short sellers kept building after the post-earnings bounce cooled. SI % of FF holds at 8.9%. Availability remains ample at 845% of SI, meaning more shorts can pile in easily.
QSR saw notable short covering. SI % of FF dropped nearly 6 points to 8.9%. Coeur Mining saw bears exit even faster — down 6.1 points to just 4.5%.
Among retail favourites, GME holds at 13.8% SI % of FF. MSTR sits at 11.6%. Both remain on watchlists but neither saw dramatic moves this week.
