Short sellers have made a decisive move on CHWY in the past week. Short interest as a percentage of free float jumped 25 points to 91.2%. That is one of the sharpest weekly increases across mid- and large-cap US stocks. With availability still high at 435%, bears clearly have no shortage of shares to borrow.
SKYD is another name with heavy momentum on the short side. Skydance Corporation's SI % FF rose 15 points to 65% in the same period. Cost to borrow remains modest at 3.4%, suggesting shorts are comfortable holding the position.
On the other end of the scale, EverCommerce sits with an ORTEX short score of 96 and a cost to borrow near 246%. Availability is razor-thin at just 3.3% of short interest, making new entries very expensive. Bears are squeezed hard here.
Tesla reports earnings on 21 October. TSLA SI % FF is just 2.5%, low for such a widely followed stock. ORTEX alt data shows German car registrations running 269% above the same quarter last year, a dataset with a 43-day lead on Tesla revenue. That is a bullish signal going into the print, which may partly explain why short sellers are not piling in ahead of results. , reporting a day earlier, sees German car data running 133% above the prior year period.
Fabrinet faces a separate pressure point: ORTEX Index Rebalance Radar puts its MSCI World deletion risk at 49%, with $826 million of forced selling possible if it closes below $421.07 today.
