Short sellers made bold moves this week. Capricor Therapeutics saw the biggest jump. Its short interest hit 45.6% of free float — up 9.2 percentage points in just seven days. That is a sharp, sudden build from bears targeting the biotech.
Klaviyo also drew fresh attention. SI climbed from 13% to 19.9% of FF in a week. The marketing software firm has a $2.5 billion market cap. Bears appear unconvinced by its growth story.
SpaceX's public listing vehicle SPCX sits at 23.9% SI of FF — up nearly 6 points over the week. The stock's massive $1.1 trillion implied valuation keeps shorts interested.
On the other side, Chewy saw heavy short covering. SI dropped to 47.6% of FF. That is a significant retreat. Bears may be nervous ahead of a potential squeeze in the online pet retailer.
Wolfspeed remains one of the most punished names. SI stands at 73.7% of FF. Notably, availability is at 0% — meaning shares to borrow are virtually gone. That tightness raises squeeze risk.
e.l.f. Beauty also saw shorts bail. SI fell from 14.1% to 7.1% of FF this week. Mining stocks are also in focus today after Fed remarks rattled the sector.
