Bears Flee GME as Fresh Targets Draw Fire

Short sellers made dramatic moves this week. GameStop saw the biggest retreat — SI % of Free Float collapsed from 10.3% to just 1.1% in seven days. Ryan Cohen's reported $20M purchase appears to have spooked bears into covering fast.

While shorts fled GME, they piled into new targets. Lucid Group saw SI jump 14.4 percentage points to nearly 50% of free float. Shares to borrow are nearly exhausted — availability sits at just 0.4% of short interest.

Chewy is another notable mover. SI climbed 11.3 points to 63.6% of free float. Despite heavy shorting, borrow remains plentiful at 482% availability — bears can still add.

Aerospace name Swarmer now has the sharpest setup. SI surged 19.2 points to 89.9% of free float. Cost to borrow hit 207%. That combination signals extreme squeeze risk.

Wolfspeed holds firm as a structural short. SI sits at 83% of free float. Zero shares remain available to borrow — any squeeze could be violent.

On the short-score leaderboard, Alliance Entertainment scores 98 out of 100 — the highest in the market right now — with 25.9 days to cover and just 0.2% availability.
