Short sellers ramped up positions in several notable names last week. Hertz Global Holdings leads the pack in terms of sheer movement. SI jumped from 48.9% to 60.8% of free float in just seven days. That's a 12-point spike. Availability sits at zero — borrowing the stock is virtually impossible right now.
CoreWeave, the AI cloud darling, also drew more bearish attention. SI rose from 23.7% to 29.4% of FF over the week — nearly a 6-point jump. Bears are clearly skeptical of the $36bn valuation. Cost to borrow remains low at 0.4%, suggesting supply is still available.
Wolfspeed holds the most extreme position in the market. SI sits at 112.6% of free float. That figure barely budged this week — down just 2 points. Heavy short interest and potential for a violent squeeze remain a risk.
On the covering side, Coeur Mining saw SI fall sharply — from 11.1% to 4.7% in a week. That's a big unwind.
GameStop stays steady at 13.8% SI. Rivian dipped slightly to 18.6%. Neither is moving dramatically. NVIDIA shorts are practically absent at just 1.3% of FF.
