Short sellers turned up the heat on CRWV this week. CoreWeave's short interest hit 33.1% of free float — up 4.76 percentage points in just seven days. The AI cloud stock, valued at nearly $40bn, is drawing heavy scepticism despite its high-profile Nasdaq listing.
WOLF remains the standout extreme. Wolfspeed's SI sits at a staggering 103% of free float — up another 4.5 points week-on-week. Zero availability to borrow signals the trade is near capacity. Yet short sellers keep pressing.
CHWY is another bear favourite. SI climbed to 74.8%, up 4.4 points. Chewy's cost to borrow stays low at 0.46%, meaning shorts face little carry pain.
The biggest SI jump came from CHRN (ChronoScale Holdings), up 12 points to 45.8%. That stock is much smaller and less liquid — worth watching for a squeeze.
On the other side, CRWD saw its SI drop nearly 2 points to just 0.9%. Bears retreated sharply from CrowdStrike as the cybersecurity giant continues to attract bullish attention.
MRNA sits at 16.4% SI with ample borrow available. Social chatter around Moderna remains elevated, with analyst upgrades circulating this week per ORTEX news flow.
