Short sellers turned notably more aggressive in Wolfspeed this week. SI % of Free Float hit 50.2%, up from 37.5% a month ago — a 12.7 percentage point jump. The chip maker has struggled with debt concerns and weak SiC demand. With availability at just 2%, borrowing stock is now extremely tight.
Rumble carries the highest ORTEX short score at 93, with CTB spiking to 25% and availability near zero at 0.06%. Bears are deeply committed — but a squeeze could ignite fast.
EverCommerce draws similar attention. CTB sits at 30.7% and DTC is nearly 25 days. That's an expensive and crowded short.
Meanwhile, squeeze candidates are cooling. Hertz SI % FF fell to 43.4% from 48.3% a month ago. AMC Entertainment dropped to 15.7% from 19.2%. also eased, now at versus 15.6% in early April.
American Airlines saw a modest rise — SI % FF up to 10.4% from 9.2%. SoundHound AI holds 38% SI % FF with CTB at 20% — a social media favourite for squeeze talk.
Bears are picking new battles. Wolfspeed is the week's standout target.
