Short sellers made fresh moves this week. The data shows sharp buildups across several popular names.
CoreWeave (CRWV) is the headline mover. ORTEX data confirms short interest surged 40% in a single week. SI now sits at 17.9% of free float. The AI infrastructure darling is attracting bears despite its $38.8B market cap. Cost to borrow is just 3.91%, so shorting remains accessible.
Chewy (CHWY) carries the heaviest short load among consumer names. SI hit 52.3% of free float — up 4.6 percentage points in seven days. That's a punishing level of bearish conviction. Availability stands at 544%, meaning plenty of borrow is still available if sellers want more.
Wix.com (WIX) saw the sharpest percentage-point jump among mid-caps. SI jumped from 11.5% to 17.8% in one week — a 6.2pp move. Shorts appear skeptical ahead of any upcoming guidance.
Wolfspeed (WOLF) remains an extreme case. SI stands at 75.3% of free float. The chip maker is down nearly 60% over three months. Availability is zero — existing shorts are locked in.
EverCommerce (EVCM) tops the short score board at 94. Cost to borrow is 40.4% — the highest among liquid names. Only 2% availability remains. Shorts are paying up to stay in.
Traders on social platforms are also watching Rivian (RIVN) closely after a volatile Friday session drew widespread attention.
