CHWY saw the biggest short interest jump of the week. Bears pushed SI to 91.3% of free float, up from 66% just seven days ago. That is a 25-point swing in a single week. With availability sitting at 435%, shares to borrow are plentiful, but the elevated short base now makes a squeeze scenario harder to ignore.
SKYD is another name drawing attention. Short interest hit 65% of free float, up from 50% a week ago. Availability is just 19%, which means the borrow market is tightening fast.
WOLF remains one of the most crowded shorts on the market. The semiconductor name carries 83.8% SI of free float. Availability has collapsed to zero, signalling no new short positions can easily be opened. Days to cover is over 10, adding further squeeze risk.
EVCM sports a 93% short score. Cost to borrow has spiked to 246% APR, one of the highest in the market. That level of borrowing cost puts real pressure on short holders.
TSLA remains lightly shorted at just 2.5% of free float. ORTEX alt data shows German car registrations running 269% above the same quarter last year, a dataset that leads Tesla revenue by 43 days. The company reports earnings on 21 October.
LUCK rounds out the high-short-score names with a 35-day days-to-cover reading. Bears have held firm despite a 35% price fall over three months.
