Bears Circle GameStop Again as Short Interest Spikes

GME is turning heads again. Short interest jumped to 7.17% of free float — up from just 0.94% a week ago. That's a massive 6.23 percentage point swing in seven days.

The meme stock crowd will be watching closely. Bears are clearly betting the recent enthusiasm has run too far.

Elsewhere in high-conviction shorts, WOLF (Wolfspeed) sits at 80.4% of free float. The semiconductor name has shed 41% over the past three months. Bears show no sign of retreating with zero shares available to borrow.

CHWY remains deep in short territory at 74.9% of FF. HTZ is close behind at 70%. Both names saw short interest nudge higher on the week.

The highest short score in the market right now belongs to EVCM (EverCommerce). Its cost to borrow sits at 38.8% APR — a punishing rate for anyone running that position.

MMED (MiniMed Group) is another standout. SI hit 42% of free float. The stock is up 45% in three months — a classic short-squeeze setup worth monitoring.

LCID (Lucid Group) holds steady at 50.3% short. Bears continue to press the EV maker with CTB at 6.6%.
