Bears ramped up bets this week. The data shows clear movers on both sides.
RDDT saw the biggest short interest jump among large US names. Its SI % of Free Float climbed to 18.1%, up 4.6 points in seven days. Reddit is firmly in the news cycle, featuring in multiple high-impact stories this week. Short sellers appear skeptical of its recent momentum.
WOLF remains the most heavily shorted large US stock. SI hit 85.4% of free float, adding another 2.1 points this week. Shares have fallen 50% over three months. Availability of shares to borrow is essentially zero — a warning sign for anyone still trying to establish new short positions.
CHWY carries a 62% SI % FF. Availability is sky-high at 442%, meaning fresh short supply is abundant. No squeeze pressure here.
LUCK scores the highest ORTEX short score of any US stock at 94.7. CTB sits at 28.5% APR and availability is thin at 35%.
On the squeeze watch: GALT trades at a 69% short score with CTB of 13.8% and only 18.6% availability — a tightly held borrow that could unwind fast.
European short interest saw sharp moves in Polish stocks. CD Projekt SI leapt from 2.9% to 22.1% in one week — a notable bearish new bet on the gaming firm.
