Short sellers added pressure to WOLF this week. Short Interest % of Free Float hit 57%, up 6.5 percentage points in seven days. That is the biggest move among mid-cap US names. Availability stands at just 0.75% of short interest — shares are extremely hard to borrow.
The eye-catching ORTEX alert of the day belongs to ALC. Cost to borrow for the Swiss eye-care giant exploded 712% in one week to 6.8%, as the stock dropped 10.5%. Bears are piling in fast.
ADT also drew fresh short attention. SI rose from 6.7% to 9.9% of free float in a week — a 3.2 percentage point jump for the $5B security company.
Among social-media favourites, GME crept up to 15.1% SI % FF, adding 1.3 points over the week. AMC sits just above it at 15.8%. Neither is showing the extreme squeeze conditions of prior years, but both remain closely watched.
TSLA and NVDA are quiet on the short side — at 2.5% and 1.2% respectively, bears have little grip there.
Small-cap BDRX saw the most dramatic weekly swing: SI rocketed from 101% to over 2,300% of free float — a red flag for a potential short squeeze or share manipulation scenario.
