Bears Circle CoreWeave, Chewy, and Wix

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.
