CHWY is the standout mover this week. Short interest jumped 25.3 percentage points in seven days to 91.2% of free float. That is one of the sharpest weekly surges seen in any mid-cap US stock. Availability sits at 435%, so shares to borrow are plentiful. Bears are piling in aggressively.
WOLF remains the most heavily shorted large name. Short interest stands at 83.8% of free float. Zero availability means borrowing new shares is almost impossible. Days to cover exceeds 10, making a squeeze technically feasible.
HTZ carries 73.2% SI of free float with a cost to borrow above 19%. That is a significant carry cost for shorts. Availability has dried to zero.
TSLA reports earnings Tuesday. Short interest is just 2.5% of free float, very light. ORTEX alt data shows German car registrations running 269% above the same quarter last year, a dataset that leads Tesla revenue by 43 days. That signal is firmly in the bull camp heading into the print.
GM also reports Monday. German car registrations data leads GM revenue by 15 days and is running 133% above last year.
Elsewhere, SKYD saw SI climb 15.3 points to 65% of free float over the week. FLNC added 5.7 points to reach 38%.
