Short sellers have been busy. The biggest SI mover of the past seven days is CHWY. Chewy's short interest jumped 5 percentage points to 51.5% of free float. Bears are stacking bets against the pet-supplies retailer despite a 14.6% price rise over three months.
WOLF — the struggling SiC semiconductor maker — held near the top of the most-shorted table. Its SI % FF sits at 74.9%, up 3.6 points in a week. The stock has crashed 48% in three months and shorts show zero signs of backing off. Zero shares are available to borrow, making a squeeze almost impossible.
KNX saw one of the sharpest relative moves. Knight-Swift's short interest nearly doubled in a week — from 6% to 10.9% of free float. Trucking names are clearly back in bearish focus.
On the ORTEX short score radar, EVCM leads with a score of 94 out of 100. The software firm carries a cost to borrow of 44% — the highest among tracked names — with only 8.4% availability.
NVDA, meanwhile, stays low on the bear list. Its SI is just 1.2% of free float, even as news headlines debate whether the H100 chip cycle can sustain demand.
