Short sellers have been busy this week. CoreWeave saw the biggest jump among major names. Its SI % of FF rose to 29.4% — up 5.7 percentage points in just seven days. Bears are clearly skeptical of the AI cloud darling's stretched valuation.
Chewy leads all mid-cap US stocks with a massive 71% SI % FF. Pet e-commerce remains deeply out of favour with short sellers.
Sarepta Therapeutics is also drawing attention. SI climbed to 30% of free float, up 3.2pp on the week. The biotech faces ongoing pressure around drug approval timelines.
Bob's Discount Furniture surged to 28% SI % FF from 23% last week — a 5pp spike that puts it firmly on the squeeze-watch list.
On the other side, Coinbase and Rivian saw shorts trim positions. COIN's SI fell 0.5pp to 11.9%. Rivian edged down to 18.6%.
Social buzz stock Palantir — called the "Best Company" in software by D.A. Davidson today — carries only 3.7% SI % FF. Bears are not fighting that rally.
GameStop sits steady at 13.8%. Little has changed there.
