Short sellers are piling into WOLF at a striking pace. The semiconductor firm saw its short interest hit 50.1% of free float as of April 30 — up from 47% just five days earlier. Availability of shares to borrow sits at a razor-thin 2.1%, making new short positions increasingly costly to establish.
VITL is another stock drawing fresh bearish attention. Vital Farms' short interest climbed to 37.1% of FF, up 2.75 percentage points over the same period. Consumer staples peer CAG also saw bears move in — Conagra Brands jumped from 8.6% to 11.0% SI.
The politically charged NMAX (Newsmax) holds 28% short interest, edging higher week-on-week. Small-cap nuclear play NNE sits at 22% and continues to attract skeptics.
On the flip side, CAR (Avis Budget Group) saw a dramatic in short interest — bears covered hard, with SI falling from 54.9% to 44.3%. (Hertz) also saw modest short covering, dipping to 43.4%.
Among the most shorted names overall, SPRY (ARS Pharmaceuticals) remains heavily bet against at 63.3% of FF, with a sky-high short score of 85. GRPN (Groupon) sits at 47.9%, with just 5.9% availability — squeeze fuel if sentiment turns.
