GameStop is back on short sellers' radar. SI jumped from 0.9% to 7.2% of free float in just seven days. That's a 6.3 percentage point spike. The meme-stock king hasn't seen a move like this in months.
The biggest story, though, is Braveheart Bio. Short interest stands at a staggering 277% of free float. It rose 86 points in a single week. Bears are heavily loading up on this pharma name.
Wolfspeed remains one of the most structurally shorted large-cap names. SI sits at 81% of free float. Availability is zero — no more shares are left to borrow. That's a potential squeeze signal.
On the covering side, Chewy saw shorts retreat. SI dropped nearly 5 points to 73.2%. Bears may be taking profits after a long run at this pet-products retailer.
1-800-Flowers holds a massive 79% SI with 31 days to cover — extreme by any measure. Hertz sits at 68% as its operational struggles persist.
In mega-caps, short positions remain light. Tesla SI is just 2.7% of free float. NVIDIA bears hold only 1.3%, as the AI trade continues to dominate sentiment.
