Short sellers moved aggressively this week. MMED (MiniMed Group) saw the biggest jump among mid-cap names. Its SI % FF leapt from 41% to nearly 69% in seven days — a 27-point surge.
SPCX (Space Exploration Technologies) also drew fresh bearish attention. SI rose from 20% to 30% of free float. The stock is down almost 3% over three months, and cost to borrow remains low, making it easy to add short positions.
Brazilian education firm AFYA was another notable mover. Short interest jumped from 10.7% to 27.9% of free float — up 17 points in a week. Sentiment around emerging-market consumer stocks is clearly souring.
WOLF (Wolfspeed) remains the most heavily shorted semiconductor name. SI stands at 81% of free float. Days to cover sits above 11, meaning a squeeze could take time to unwind.
On the other side, COIN short sellers covered. SI dropped from 13.2% to 10.6%. That 2.6-point fall came as crypto sentiment improved.
TSLA shorts also trimmed. SI eased to 2.4% of free float. Social media buzz around humanoid robots and Mark Cuban's scepticism keeps the name in the spotlight, but bears are stepping back for now.
EVCM (EverCommerce) carries an ORTEX short score of 95 — among the highest in software — with 22 days to cover and near-zero availability. A squeeze setup worth watching.
