Short sellers are making bold moves this week. MiniMed Group saw the biggest SI jump among mid-caps. Its short interest rocketed from 38.5% to 68.3% of free float in just seven days. Cost to borrow sits at 18.2%. Availability is nearly zero at just 2.3%. Bears are firmly in control.
Wolfspeed remains the semiconductor sector's most shorted name. SI stands at 80.4% of free float with zero availability — no shares left to borrow. The stock has lost 40% over three months.
EverCommerce carries the highest short score on the screen at 94.4. Cost to borrow has hit 106% APR — an extreme signal that shorts are paying a steep premium to stay positioned.
The week's biggest talking point is Micron Technology. Bears are circling ahead of its earnings print. Despite only 2.4% SI, analyst target cuts and heavy social media buzz have put MU firmly in the spotlight.
Chewy is a squeeze candidate to watch. SI sits at but availability is a huge — plenty of borrow still exists, keeping a squeeze harder to trigger for now.
