Short sellers had a busy week. REPL saw the biggest move among mid-caps. Replimune's SI % of Free Float jumped to 38.1%, up 10.75 percentage points in just seven days. That is one of the sharpest single-week increases in the market right now.
WOLF remains a bear favourite. Wolfspeed's SI % FF hit 85.6%, up another 6.3pp on the week. Availability of shares to borrow stands at zero. Shorts are locked in — and squeezed borrow means any rally could be violent.
GALT carries the highest short score among liquid names at 90.3. Short interest sits at 68.5% of float. Days to cover is nearly 25 — a deep squeeze setup if any catalyst hits.
ALM caught traders' attention today. ORTEX flagged Almonty Industries' SI surging 47% in one week to 10.4% of float. The tungsten miner rallied after earnings. Bears stepped in hard on the bounce.
CCCC also stands out. C4 Therapeutics jumped from 22.8% to in a week — an 8.9pp rise. The biotech sector is seeing notable short build-up across multiple names.
CXW showed a sharp move too. CoreCivic's SI leapt from 2.4% to 10.0% — a 7.6pp surge. The private prison operator is a new entrant among heavily shorted stocks this week.
