RDDT is the week's standout mover. Short interest climbed to 17.6% of free float, up from 13.5% — a 4.1 percentage point jump in just seven days. The social media platform faces earnings scrutiny and is drawing fresh bearish bets even as bulls point to user growth.
REPL also drew attention. Short interest hit 40% of free float, up 2.4 points week-on-week. The oncology biotech has no revenue and faces a long cash runway risk.
COLM saw a quieter but notable move. Columbia Sportswear's SI rose 3.2 points to 16.8%, signalling concern ahead of its next trading update.
On the squeeze watch list, WOLF and CHWY are seeing SI come off the boil. Wolfspeed's short interest eased to 83.4% from 85.2%. Chewy dropped to 59.1% from 61.3%. Both remain extreme, but the trend is shifting.
GRPN stays stubbornly shorted at 73% of float. Days-to-cover sits at 8.4. With thin availability at 15.6%, squeezing shorts here would be difficult.
LUCK tops the short score table at 94.6. Lucky Strike Entertainment carries a 25.6-day DTC and a cost to borrow near 24%. That combination keeps short sellers locked in but squeezable if sentiment shifts.
