Bears Pile In: Chewy, Honeywell, CoreWeave In Focus

Short sellers turned aggressive this week. Data as of July 6 shows notable increases across several names.

Chewy leads the pack. SI hit 72.4% of free float — up 3.3 percentage points in seven days. That is one of the highest readings among all mid- and large-cap US stocks.

CoreWeave is attracting fresh short interest too. SI climbed to 31.5%, up 2.8 points on the week. The AI infrastructure name has been a hot short since its IPO. Availability sits at 222%, suggesting shorts can still easily add positions.

The biggest surprise is Honeywell. SI jumped from 3.8% to 6.5% — a 2.7-point leap in a week. That kind of move in a blue-chip industrial is rare. Bears may be betting the company's ongoing breakup process disappoints.

Skyworks Solutions also saw shorts pile in. SI rose to 19.9%, up 2.1 points. Chipmakers facing Apple exposure risk remain a popular bearish trade.

Meanwhile, Sable Offshore saw SI spike to 36.2% from 28.5%. Availability has hit zero — no shares left to borrow. That is a classic short-squeeze setup to watch.

On the meme side, GameStop sits at 13.9% SI. Movement was minor this week. Tesla and NVIDIA remain lightly shorted at under 3%.
