Short sellers added aggressively across several names this week. MMED (MiniMed Group) saw its short interest jump 10 percentage points in seven days. It now sits at 78.6% of free float. Borrowing costs run at nearly 20% APR. Available shares to borrow stand at just 0.64% of short interest, making new shorts extremely difficult to establish.
TLN (Talen Energy) is another fresh mover. Short interest rose 6 points over the week to 12.1% of free float. The nuclear power play has attracted growing bear attention despite its $15.5bn market cap.
WOLF (Wolfspeed) stays deeply shorted at 80.5% of free float. Zero shares are available to borrow. That squeeze potential is real.
GME is back in the spotlight. Ryan Cohen reportedly placed a fresh $17m bet on GameStop. Bears have not blinked: short interest holds at 6.5% of free float, with borrow costs near zero and ample availability at 269%. Options markets are pricing the clash between Cohen bulls and persistent shorts.
EIX (Edison International) drew a Jefferies sell rating this week, adding analyst fire to an already pressured name.
The ORTEX short score for EVCM (EverCommerce) sits at 95, with 22 days to cover and borrow costs at 44% APR. That is a slow-motion pressure cooker.
