Short sellers are making bold moves this week. RDDT saw its short interest jump to 17.4% of free float, up from 13.8% just seven days ago — a 3.6 percentage point surge. Bears appear skeptical of Reddit's lofty $22B valuation as user-growth momentum slows.
The nuclear energy trade is drawing intense attention. NNE — NANO Nuclear Energy — hit 100% utilization with availability collapsing to just 0.54%. That means shares are nearly impossible to borrow. SI sits at 34.1% of FF. A short squeeze could be brewing.
WOLF remains one of the most extreme bets on Wall Street. Wolfspeed's SI reached 78.3% of FF — nearly the entire free float is sold short. The semiconductor firm has shed 65% over three months.
TSAT — Telesat Corporation — climbed to 56.7% SI of FF, up 4.8 points in a week. Satellite sector skeptics continue piling in.
Hyperliquid Strategies, ticker PURR, had the biggest weekly jump among mid-caps. SI rose nearly to 27.2%. The crypto-linked strategy fund is drawing heavy bearish interest.
ZM beat earnings expectations but guided Q3 slightly below consensus. Bears may use the soft outlook as fresh ammunition.
