Short sellers made aggressive moves this week. Wolfspeed tops the movers list. SI jumped from 39.5% to 47% of free float in just seven days. Shares to borrow are near-impossible to find — availability sits at just 2.7%. The chipmaker is burning cash and faces intense sector pressure.
Scholastic saw a sharp spike too. Short interest climbed from 13.1% to 21.6% of free float, an 8.5 percentage-point surge in one week. That's a notable new bet against the publisher.
Rumble carries a short score of 89 — one of the highest on Nasdaq. SI stands at 26% of float. Borrow costs run at 33.7% APR. Availability is effectively zero at 0.005%. Short sellers are heavily committed and new shorts will struggle to enter.
Lucky Strike Entertainment also stands out. Short score hits 93, with DTC at 22.5 days. Cost to borrow is 24%. Bears are paying dearly to hold this position.
On the social radar, Snap keeps attracting attention ahead of earnings. SI sits at 10.2% of float with 2.4x availability — room to squeeze if results surprise.
