Short sellers have been active this week. The latest ORTEX data shows some notable shifts across large and small caps alike.
NLY — Annaly Capital Management — is the headline mover. Short interest jumped 61% in a single month according to ORTEX signals. The mortgage REIT reports earnings today. Bears are clearly positioning ahead of results.
WOLF — Wolfspeed — remains the most shorted mid-cap in the US. SI stands at 79% of free float. Zero shares are available to borrow. The semiconductor firm's stock has surged 162% in three months, yet short sellers are holding firm.
LUCK — Lucky Strike Entertainment — carries the highest short score among $1B+ names. Cost to borrow has hit 23%. Days to cover stands at 47. With EPS momentum down 130% in a month, bears see little reason to cover.
PCT — PureCycle Technologies — shows 45.6% SI of free float. The plastics recycler is up 84% over three months. That creates real short squeeze risk.
Among smaller names, LMFA — LM Funding — saw the sharpest weekly surge. SI jumped from 6% to 146% of free float in seven days.
Semiconductor news also keeps INTC and NVDA in focus after SK Hynix denied any plans to acquire Intel's Ohio facility.
