Short sellers are on the move. Data as of August 27 shows meaningful shifts across biotech, tech, and beyond.
CAPR (Capricor Therapeutics) leads the weekly movers. SI % of free float jumped to 45.6%, up from 36.4% just seven days ago — a 9.2 percentage point surge. Availability sits at just 32%. That's a tight squeeze setup.
KVYO (Klaviyo) is the biggest tech mover. SI climbed from 13.0% to 19.9% of free float in one week. Bears are building positions ahead of what appears to be a catalyst-driven trade. Cost to borrow remains cheap at 0.5%, so the crowd can still get in.
SPCX (SpaceX) is attracting attention on both sides. Short interest hit 23.9% of free float, up 5.9 points week-on-week. The $1.1 trillion market cap name is a rare combination of retail buzz and growing short conviction.
On the perennial shorts list, (Wolfspeed) stays heavily shorted at of free float. Shares are down 59% over three months. (Groupon) holds 68.1%. (Hertz) sits at 61.6%.
The highest short score in the market belongs to EVCM (EverCommerce). Its score hit 93.9 with cost to borrow at a steep 38.5% APR — a sign of intense bearish pressure.
CHWY (Chewy) remains on shorts' radar at 46.2% SI % of FF. Availability is 680% — plenty of room to pile in.
