Now I have enough data to write a compelling short interest article.
Short sellers have been busy this week. Data from ORTEX shows meaningful positioning shifts across several well-known names as the market digests geopolitical uncertainty and volatile earnings.
CVNA saw the biggest short interest jump among larger stocks. Short interest as a % of free float rose to 8.81%, up from just 2.03% seven days ago — a gain of nearly 7 percentage points in one week. Carvana's $56bn market cap makes that move hard to ignore.
WOLF sits at 59.7% SI % FF, up 9 points over the past week. Short sellers show no sign of backing off. The semiconductor firm remains one of the most heavily shorted mid-cap names on US exchanges.
SOUN carries a short score of 84 with . Availability has effectively hit zero, making new short positions extremely difficult to open. That squeeze risk is real.
RUM has a short score of 93 with only 0.3% availability remaining. With shares up 44% over three months, bears are getting squeezed hard.
LUCK leads large-cap short scores at 93.8 with 32 days to cover. Short sellers are very committed — and very exposed if sentiment turns.
