Short sellers have been busy. WOLF — Wolfspeed — tops the week's biggest movers. SI jumped 3.2 percentage points to 50.1% of free float in just seven days. The semiconductor name has surged 135% over three months. That gap between the stock's rally and growing short bets sets up a potential squeeze.
VITL (Vital Farms) saw SI climb 3 points to 37.4% of FF. Bears are piling in even as the egg-and-butter brand holds steady operationally.
The cost-to-borrow picture is equally striking. RUM (Rumble) leads on all fronts — a short score of 93, CTB spiking from 34% to 60% in a week, and barely any shares left to borrow (availability at just 0.06%). That is a squeeze waiting to happen.
SOUN (SoundHound AI) is another name to watch. CTB jumped from 19% to 35% this week. SI sits at 38% of FF with near-zero availability.
CAR (Avis Budget) remains one of the most shorted large caps at , with CTB at 3.6% and only 8.8% of shares available to borrow.
Among biggest SI scores, EVCM (EverCommerce) carries a short score of 93 with CTB rising to 31% — one of the priciest borrows in software.
