Short sellers are making bold moves this week. BDRX (Biodexa Pharmaceuticals) saw the steepest short interest surge, jumping to 1,771% of free float from 112% in just seven days. That is a staggering build. Next up, XXII (22nd Century Group) saw SI climb to 66.75% from 18.4%.
In the small-cap arena, SDOT (Sadot Group) rocketed from 1.6% to 84.6% short interest this week. Bears are clearly loading up ahead of catalysts.
Not everyone is piling in. AMC Entertainment's SI fell to 12.2% from 16% last week — a notable retreat from short sellers. Meme-stock favourite GME holds steady at 14.8%, ticking up just 1.2 points.
Among popular names, BBAI (BigBear.ai) carries ahead of its Q1 print. Bears are holding firm. (Intuitive Machines) sits at shorted — with insiders reportedly selling into the rally ahead of Monday's earnings.
SOUN (SoundHound AI) tops the social buzz board with a short score of 84 and 37.5% SI of free float. Availability has essentially dried up — a classic squeeze setup worth watching.
RUM (Rumble) carries a short score of 93.9 with 25% SI and availability near zero. Short sellers face limited room to add positions.
