Short sellers are making bold moves this week. Wolfspeed leads the charge — its SI % of FF hit 80.1%, up from 57.6% just seven days ago. That's a 22.5 percentage point jump. Availability is at zero, meaning borrowing shares is nearly impossible.
Carvana is drawing fresh attention from bears. Its short interest jumped from 2.1% to 10.2% of free float in a week — a near fivefold increase. The used-car platform has been a social media darling after a massive run-up, but shorts are now taking the other side.
Lyft also saw a notable rise, climbing from 24.3% to 29.2% of free float. Lucid Group sits at 34.6% — up 7 percentage points in seven days — as EV sentiment stays fragile.
On the high short-score leaderboard, Rumble stands out with a score of 90. Cost to borrow is 24.5% APR. Only 1.3% of shares are available relative to short interest — a squeeze setup that traders on social platforms are flagging.
SoundHound AI carries 39.4% SI % of FF with near-zero availability. EPS momentum just spiked 224% — a sharp divergence that could trigger volatility.
Bears are active. But squeezed shorts in zero-availability names can snap back fast.
