Short sellers are ramping up positions across a cluster of well-known names. Data from ORTEX as of September 28 shows the clearest moves in the past seven days.
MiniMed Group saw the sharpest jump among mid-caps. Short Interest % of Free Float leapt 30 points in a week to 70.5%. That puts it deep into squeeze-watch territory — availability of shares to borrow has already dried up to just 2.1%.
Lucid Group continues to attract bears. SI % FF climbed another 7.5 points to 58.1%, with the EV maker already down sharply this year. The stock remains one of the most actively shorted in the auto sector.
Groupon sits at 71.3% SI % FF after a fresh 7.8-point rise. Days to cover is running high. Short sellers appear unconvinced by any recovery story.
Wolfspeed holds extreme levels at 81.3% SI % FF. The semiconductor name barely moved week-on-week, but that reading alone keeps it firmly on squeeze watchlists. Cost to borrow is low at just 2.3% — bears can hold cheap.
Tripadvisor saw SI % FF hit 31.2%, up 6.1 points in seven days. Travel demand worry or company-specific doubt, sellers aren't stepping back.
Warner Bros. Discovery bucked the trend — shorts trimmed slightly as Argus turned negative, suggesting some repositioning ahead of potential news.
