MiniMed Group is the week's standout mover. Short interest climbed to 80% of free float, up nearly 10 percentage points in seven days. Shares available to borrow sit at just 0.4% of short interest. That near-zero availability combined with a cost to borrow of 19% makes this an increasingly dangerous position for bears.
Talen Energy also drew fresh attention. Short interest in the nuclear power producer jumped to 11.5% of free float from 6.4% a week ago, a gain of more than 5 points. Wolfspeed holds the highest SI % FF among larger names at 81%, with zero shares available to borrow. Bears are locked in but cannot add.
Lucid Group sits at 59% short interest. News that the EV maker cut production output by 38% and missed delivery estimates reinforced the bear case. Available shares are nearly exhausted at just 0.07% of SI.
EverCommerce carries an ORTEX short score of 95, the second highest in the market, with a cost to borrow of 136%. That level signals serious dislocation in borrow supply for the software name.
On the macro front, US nonfarm payrolls reached 159 million in September 2026, the largest September reading on record since 1997, according to ORTEX Alt Data. A resilient labour market adds complexity to any broad-market short thesis heading into Q4 earnings season.
