Bears Circle Lucid, Chewy, and Wolfspeed

Short sellers sharpened their bets across several popular names this week. The data from September 10 shows some notable moves worth watching.

LCID saw the biggest jump among larger caps. Its SI % of FF leapt to 49.7%, up from 35.3% just seven days ago — a 14.4 percentage point surge. Borrow availability has nearly dried up, sitting at just 0.4% of short interest. Bears are piling in fast.

CHWY also drew heavy attention. Short interest climbed to 63.6% of free float, rising 11.3 points in a week. Availability remains ample at 482%, so there is still room for more shorts to enter.

WOLF sits at 83% SI % of FF — up 7.7 points this week. Borrow is effectively gone, with 0% availability. A short squeeze setup is building quietly.

On the news-driven front, AAPL shorts are reportedly rebuilding after the company's product launch event. Its SI % of FF is just 0.95%, but the directional shift matters.

AENT holds the highest ORTEX short score at 98.4, with 25.9 days to cover and borrow costs near 59% APR — a deeply stressed short position.
