Short sellers have been busy this week. MiniMed Group saw its SI % of free float jump 9 points in seven days to 77.7%. Availability sits at just 1.5%, meaning borrowed shares are extremely scarce. The cost to borrow is 18.8% APR. That squeeze setup is tight.
Talen Energy, the power generator that has ridden the AI data-centre energy wave, is now a fresh target. SI % of FF nearly doubled over the week, rising from 5.4% to 10.3%. At a $15.9 billion market cap, this is one of the larger-cap names seeing a sudden bearish build.
Wolfspeed remains a structural short favourite. SI % of FF stands at 80.3%, with zero shares reported available to borrow. Bears have almost no room to add, but the existing position is massive.
Hertz and hold elevated short interest above 58%, both sitting on zero or near-zero availability. Each has shed more than 15% over three months. Bears remain in control.
EverCommerce carries an ORTEX short score of 95, among the highest in the market, with a 22.5-day DTC. That signals a very crowded, sticky short.
On the medical side, Medicare Advantage penetration hit a record 51.1% in June 2026 (ORTEX Alt Data), with beneficiaries at 36.1 million. That backdrop adds pressure on healthcare payers already in bear crosshairs.
