Short sellers are making bold moves this week. WOLF tops the large-cap mover list. Its SI % of Free Float jumped nearly 10 percentage points in seven days. It now sits at 60.4% of float. The semiconductor firm has surged 196% over three months — yet bears are doubling down.
VEEV (Veeva Systems) saw SI jump 3.4 points to 7.2% this week. ADT also attracted fresh shorts, up nearly 3 points to 8.3%.
In the social media darling space, AMC shorts are actually covering. SI dropped 3.9 points to 12.2% over the week. That's a notable retreat. GME stays stubbornly shorted at 14.8%. SOUN (SoundHound AI) carries 37.5% SI despite a busy news cycle.
Among the highest-shorted names, RUM (Rumble) carries a 24.7% SI with a short score of 93.8 — one of the highest in the market. Availability sits at just 0.16%, making new short positions nearly impossible to open.
LUCK (Lucky Strike Entertainment) leads mid-caps with a 32.3 days-to-cover reading. That's extreme. Any positive catalyst could force a sharp squeeze.
Micro-cap BDRX (Biodexa Pharmaceuticals) registered the most shocking move of all. SI rocketed from 111% to 1,771% of float in a week — a sign of aggressive post-dilution shorting activity in a tiny, volatile name.
