Short interest data as of July 8 reveals some sharp moves over the past week. Here are the names that matter.
MQ jumps to the top of the movers list. Marqeta saw its SI % of free float leap from 3.95% to 14.47% — a gain of over 10 percentage points in just seven days. That's the biggest weekly jump among mid-cap US stocks. Bears are clearly making a fresh bet against the payments company.
CRWV climbs too. CoreWeave short interest rose from 28.4% to 33.7% of free float. The $40bn AI infrastructure name remains one of the most shorted stocks on Nasdaq. Availability sits at 176% — there are still plenty of shares to borrow.
CHWY stays under siege. Chewy short interest stands at 76.1% of free float. That crept up another 4 points this week. Cost to borrow is just 0.48%, meaning shorts face little pain holding the position.
WOLF hits extreme levels. Wolfspeed short interest exceeds 103% of free float. Availability is now at zero. No shares left to borrow — a classic squeeze setup.
GAP draws new shorts. The Gap SI rose from 14.3% to 17.9% in a week. At a $6.6bn market cap, that's a meaningful bearish signal ahead of upcoming retail data.
