Wolfspeed leads this week's short interest movers by a wide margin. SI hit 80.1% of free float — up 22.5 percentage points in just seven days. The chip maker's borrow cost sits at 3.7%, and availability has dropped to near zero.
Carvana is the surprise entry on the momentum list. Short interest jumped from 2% to 10.2% of free float in one week. That's a near-fivefold increase. Bears appear to be fading the stock after its recent rally.
Lucid Group also drew fresh shorts. SI climbed 7 percentage points to 34.6% of free float. The EV maker continues to struggle with cash burn and weak deliveries.
SoundHound AI remains a social media favourite. SI sits at 39.4% of FF with a cost to borrow of nearly 25%. Zero shares are available to borrow. That squeeze setup is hard to ignore.
Rumble posted a short score of 90 with a cost to borrow above 24%. The platform missed Q1 estimates today. Shorts hold nearly 20% of the free float, and only 1.3% availability remains.
Lyft rounds out the notable movers. SI rose almost 5 percentage points to 29.2% of free float in a week — a quiet but meaningful build.
