Short sellers are making bold moves this week. Wix.com saw the sharpest jump among mid-cap US stocks. Its SI % of FF leapt from 11.5% to 17.8% in just seven days. That is a 6.2 percentage point surge — one of the biggest weekly moves tracked by ORTEX.
Chewy remains a bear favourite. SI hit 52.3% of free float. It rose 4.6 points in a week. With availability at 544% of short interest, borrowing shares is still easy. That means shorts can keep pressing.
Lululemon is under fresh pressure from two directions. Twin analyst downgrades landed this week. Short interest sits at 9.9% of free float. Social chatter around the stock is growing. Bears appear to be building positions ahead of any earnings risk.
GameStop is back on the radar. ORTEX flags short book stress and heavy options reloading. SI stands at 10.3% of free float. Availability is only 76% — tighter than most. A squeeze could ignite fast if buying pressure builds.
Wolfspeed remains the most structurally shorted large name. SI is at 75.3% of free float. Availability is zero. The semiconductor chip maker has lost 60% in three months. Bears see no floor yet.
Tenable Holdings is a quieter mover worth watching. SI climbed from 9.1% to 13.5% in a week. That 4.4-point rise signals new conviction from shorts in the cybersecurity space.
