Short sellers have been busy in the past seven days. Three names stand out for big moves in the latest ORTEX data through August 27.
CAPR — Capricor Therapeutics — saw the sharpest weekly jump. Short interest as a % of free float hit 45.6%, up 9.2 percentage points in just one week. That is a meaningful escalation for a biotech with a volatile catalysts pipeline.
Marketing software firm KVYO — Klaviyo — also attracted heavy fresh selling. SI % FF rose nearly 7 points to 19.9%. Shorts appear unconvinced by the company's recent growth story in a crowded SaaS space.
SPCX — Space Exploration Technologies — climbed nearly 6 points to 23.9% short interest. Short sellers are growing more bearish on the private space giant's public listing.
On the other side, WOLF — Wolfspeed — saw bears retreat sharply. SI dropped 7 points to 73.7%, though the semiconductor firm remains one of the most heavily shorted names in the US market.
GRPN — Groupon — also shed nearly 5 points of short interest, falling to 68%. BAH — Booz Allen Hamilton — shed 1.4 points to 5.9% after ORTEX flagged an abundance of borrow supply driving bears to exit.
MARA — MARA Holdings — holds 28.7% SI as Bitcoin weakness hit the crypto miner's stock hard today.
