Short sellers added pressure to CHWY last week. Short interest hit 91.5% of free float as of October 16, up 4.3 percentage points in seven days. That is one of the sharpest weekly moves among mid- and large-cap US names.
LCID remains heavily squeezed territory. Short interest sits at 62.8% of free float. Availability of shares to borrow has collapsed to just 0.1% of short interest, meaning new short positions are nearly impossible to open. Cost to borrow is 11.9% annually.
TSLA tells a different story. Short interest is a modest 2.5% of free float ahead of its earnings report on October 21. 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 print could move sentiment fast.
CoreWeave saw short interest climb 2 percentage points to 21.1% of free float in the past week, as chip stocks drew selling pressure following Wall Street's AI-linked selloff reported by CNBC.
FuelCell Energy also attracted fresh shorts, rising 1.9 points to 37.3% of free float.
