Bears Pile In: MVIS, Ocado, Macerich Hit Hard

Short sellers are on the move this week. The data reveals some sharp spikes that go well beyond the usual suspects.

MVIS is the standout. MicroVision's SI % of free float exploded to 197% — up from just 16.6% a week ago. That's a 180-point jump in seven days. The stock has lost 66% in three months. With availability at just 18%, shares are very hard to borrow. Bears are pricing in further pain.

Across the Atlantic, OCDO saw SI jump from 5.3% to 33.1% of free float in a week. Ocado is no stranger to short sellers, but this week's 28-point spike suggests fresh conviction. The UK grocery-tech firm is a perennial target on social trading forums.

MAC also drew attention. ORTEX flagged a 28% surge in Macerich's short interest in one week, reaching 10.5% of float — the highest since late June. Bears are stacking up ahead of the next earnings report.

On the chronic shorts list, WOLF holds at 81.3% SI % FF with zero shares available to borrow. HTZ sits at 69.6%. CHWY dipped slightly to 108.6% but remains one of the most heavily shorted retail names.

GME ticked up to 15.7%. LCID stays elevated at 31.6% with a cost to borrow of 37.8% — one of the priciest bets in the market right now.
