Short sellers are making bold moves this week. Two names stand out for very different reasons.
FCEL — FuelCell Energy — saw its short interest jump 20.6% in one week. SI now sits at 37% of float, the highest since late July. Despite the aggressive positioning, cost to borrow remains near rock-bottom at just 0.38%. Bears are piling in cheaply.
WOLF — Wolfspeed — tells a grimmer tale. Short interest stands at 73.3% of free float. Availability has collapsed to virtually zero, meaning new short positions are nearly impossible to establish. The semiconductor firm has lost 57% over the past three months.
TENB — Tenable Holdings — posted one of the week's biggest SI jumps among mid-caps. Short interest rose nearly 5 percentage points in seven days to 13.8% of float. That rapid build in a $4.2bn cybersecurity stock is worth watching.
FLWS — 1-800-Flowers — carries 74% of float short and a punishing 29-day days-to-cover ratio. Any positive catalyst could trigger a violent squeeze.
Elsewhere, REX American Resources saw its cost to borrow spike 184% in a single week to 1.49%, a signal that shares are becoming scarce to borrow and bearish pressure is intensifying behind the scenes.
