Short sellers are busy. Data as of July 2 shows clear moves across several names worth watching.
The biggest mover is CRWV. CoreWeave's SI % of FF jumped to 28.4% from 23.7% in just five days — a 4.7 percentage point leap. Bears are circling the AI infrastructure darling ahead of Q2 earnings season.
WOLF (Wolfspeed) remains the most shorted large-cap US stock. SI hits 111.9% of free float. That is not a typo. It signals extreme crowding and squeeze risk.
CHWY (Chewy) sits second at 70.5% SI % FF. SOUN (SoundHound AI) holds 40.6% — bears remain heavy on this AI voice play despite recent momentum.
Bob's Discount Furniture (BOBS) saw SI jump 4.7 points to 27.4%. RLAY (Relay Therapeutics) rose 4.7 points to 29%.
Among the social favourites, GME holds 13.8% SI % FF with a cost to borrow of just 0.75% — shorts are cheap to hold. MARA sits at 26.5%. TSLA remains lightly shorted at 2.9%.
SMCI holds 17% SI % FF. Super Micro has been a bear magnet all year.
Q2 earnings season opens this week, adding pressure on crowded short names. Any upside surprise could trigger sharp squeezes — particularly in WOLF and CRWV.
