Now I have all the data needed to write a compelling article.
Short sellers are making bold moves this week. Wolfspeed is the standout name. Its SI % of Free Float hit 60.4% — up nearly 10 percentage points in just seven days. The semiconductor stock has surged 196% over three months. Bears are clearly betting the rally runs out of road.
Veeva Systems is another fresh target. SI jumped from 3.8% to 7.2% of float in a week. That's nearly a doubling of short positions in a $27B cloud software company. It's a notable escalation.
On the other side, AMC Entertainment saw shorts cut exposure fast. SI dropped from 16% to 12.2% in seven days — a 3.8 percentage point retreat. Avis Budget Group saw an even sharper exit, falling from 41.6% to 35.7%.
ELLO grabbed headlines today too. ORTEX data showed short interest plunged 41% in a single day, reversing a 148% surge from last week. The move followed news that Ellomay Capital completed a major asset sale.
Emerging markets ETF IEMG also drew attention. Short interest surged 171% in one week, signaling fresh bearish bets on developing economies.
STAAR Surgical remains one of the most shorted mid-caps. SI stands at 111.9% of float, with no sign of shorts backing off.
