Short sellers made bold moves in several names this week. Chewy leads the action — SI hit 72.4% of free float, up 3.3 percentage points in seven days. Bears are not letting up on the pet retailer despite its mid-cap status.
Sable Offshore saw the biggest weekly jump among US names. SI surged from 28.5% to 36.2% of free float — a 7.7pp gain in one week. The stock has zero shares available to borrow. That makes it one of the tightest setups in the market right now.
Lucid Group is a different story. SI fell 1.45pp to 38.7% following a Q2 delivery report and a sweeping leadership overhaul. Cost to borrow remains sky-high at 45.5%. Availability is near zero at just 0.1% of SI — a classic squeeze setup.
Skyward Specialty Insurance caught fresh attention today. Short interest jumped 58% in a single week to 5.8% of float. Traders are positioning ahead of July 31 earnings.
On social darlings, Tesla and GameStop shorts barely moved. TSLA SI sits at just 2.98%. Bears are clearly not picking that fight right now.
