Short sellers made bold new bets last week. MMED (MiniMed Group) saw the biggest jump among mid-cap names. Its SI % of Free Float surged from 38.5% to 68.3% in just seven days — a 29.8 percentage point leap. The short score sits at 90 out of 100. Availability is near zero at just 2.3%, meaning new short positions are very hard to open.
SPCX (Space Exploration Technologies) also drew fresh attention from bears. SI rose nearly 10 points to 30.6% of float. That came as news around Elon Musk's trillionaire status and SpaceX events trended heavily online.
LCID (Lucid Group) saw shorts add 7.3 points, pushing SI to 58% of float. The EV maker has fallen 31% over three months.
On the other side, CHWY (Chewy) saw notable short covering. SI fell nearly 7 points to 67.2%. That is still a high level, but the direction has shifted.
HTZ (Hertz) remains a bear magnet at 70.7% of float. (Wolfspeed) holds near 80.4% despite a slight dip — zero shares available to borrow makes it nearly impossible to add new shorts.
EVCM (EverCommerce) carries the highest short score at 94 with a cost to borrow of 41.6% APR. That signals intense conviction from bears willing to pay dearly to stay short.
