Bears Circle the Meme Pit

Short sellers are making bold moves. MicroVision posted one of the week's most dramatic shifts. SI jumped from 16.6% to 197% of free float in seven days. The lidar sensor maker has shed 66% in three months. Bears clearly see no floor.

GameStop is creeping back onto the radar. SI rose from 13.7% to 15.7% of free float week-on-week. Social media chatter remains steady around the name. With a 10-day cost to borrow, a squeeze can't be ruled out.

MGM Resorts saw short sellers pile in hard. SI jumped 2.4 percentage points to 13.6% of free float. That's a meaningful move for a $10.9 billion company. Availability sits at 784% of SI, meaning there's plenty of borrow left.

Hertz remains deeply underwater with shorts. SI stands at 69.6% of free float and added 5.3 points in a week. The car rental giant remains a favourite among bears.

On the other side, Chewy saw SI fall sharply. Short interest dropped from 115% to 108.6% of free float. That's a notable 6.5-point cover in a week.

EverCommerce holds the highest short score among mid-caps at 95. Cost to borrow is 40%, and availability is just 6.6%. Squeeze conditions are building quietly.
