Short sellers are making notable moves in two well-known names. GME short interest climbed to 16.3% of free float — up 2.5 percentage points over the past week. That's a significant jump for a stock with a $10.9bn market cap. Cost to borrow remains low at 1.4%, suggesting bears face little friction adding to positions.
WOLF (Wolfspeed) tells a more extreme story. SI hit 52.7% of free float, up nearly 2.8 points in seven days. Availability of shares to borrow has collapsed to just 2.4% of short interest — a sign that the short trade is getting crowded. Any positive catalyst could trigger a violent squeeze.
LUCK (Lucky Strike Entertainment) carries a short score of 92.7 with 17.7% SI and 23 days to cover. That's a high squeeze-risk combination.
RUM (Rumble) scores 93.9 on the ORTEX short score. SI sits at 25.1% of free float with nearly 19 days to cover. Availability is near zero at 0.08% — bears are fully extended here.
LFVN (LifeVantage) tops the short score table at , with SI at 42.4% and 21 days to cover. CTB is 35.4% annually.
On the macro front, Iran-war headlines are rattling oil and equity sentiment globally, which could add volatility to already-stressed short positions across the board.
