Short sellers made a decisive move into RDDT this week. Reddit's SI % of free float jumped to 17.6% from 13.5% — a 4.1 percentage point rise in just seven days. That is one of the biggest week-on-week swings among large-cap US names right now.
WOLF remains one of the most heavily shorted stocks in the US market. The semiconductor firm sits at 83.4% SI % FF with zero shares available to borrow. That combination of extreme short interest and empty borrow supply makes any short squeeze here a genuine risk if sentiment shifts.
HTZ also stays deeply shorted at 62.5% SI % FF, though it has edged lower over the past fortnight. CHWY tells an even more interesting story — it peaked above 76% in late July and has since dropped to 59%, suggesting bears are slowly covering.
FLWS holds a grim 29.2 days-to-cover at 75.9% SI % FF, the highest short score among visible names at 84.
On the news front, all eyes this week are on NVDA earnings. NVIDIA carries intense short interest attention heading into its print. The Hugging Face AI hub is also reportedly exploring a $13 billion sale, putting further focus on the AI supply chain.
Lucky Strike Entertainment topped the short score rankings at 94.6, with 25.6 days to cover and a 23.8% cost to borrow — a name worth watching closely.
