Short sellers turned aggressive on two high-profile names this week. RDDT saw the biggest mover story among liquid stocks — SI jumped to 17.6% of free float, up from 13.5% just seven days ago. That's a 4.1 percentage point swing in a single week. Reddit's large cap profile and social-media buzz make it a prime target for bearish bets.
CHTR also drew fresh short pressure. Charter Communications SI rose to 32.4% of FF, up 2.9 points week-on-week. Cable's structural headwinds remain a bear thesis.
On the squeeze side, SVV saw the sharpest covering. Savers Value Village SI tumbled from 23.7% to 14.7% — a 9-point drop in a week. Availability % of SI sits at a massive 1,987%, signalling shorts are walking away fast.
WOLF remains a standout for extreme pressure. Wolfspeed's SI hit 83.4% of FF with zero availability — shares are virtually impossible to borrow. The semiconductor firm has shed over 62% in three months.
holds similarly extreme territory at , also with no availability left. Hertz's troubled balance sheet keeps bears firmly in control.
Lucky Strike Entertainment LUCK leads the overall short score rankings at 94.7, with 26 days to cover — a powder keg if sentiment shifts.
