Short sellers made bold moves this week. Wolfspeed saw the biggest jump — SI % of FF rocketed from 60% to 89% in just seven days. That's a near-30-point leap. Zero shares are available to borrow. The semiconductor maker is already up 253% over three months, making bears a brave bunch.
Carvana also drew fresh attention. Short interest climbed from 2% to 10% of free float — an 8-point surge. Bears are clearly skeptical after the used-car retailer's strong run. Availability sits at 471%, so there's still plenty of room to short.
Lucid Group remains firmly in the crosshairs. SI hit 34.7% of FF, up 7 points on the week. Borrow costs at 9.8% signal growing pressure. The EV maker has struggled to scale production and shorts are not backing down.
On the covering side, KalVista Pharmaceuticals saw its SI drop nearly 12 points to 37.7%. Apellis Pharmaceuticals shed 5.6 points — shorts are exiting fast.
LifeVantage holds the highest short score of the week at 99.5, with a cost to borrow of 61%. Meanwhile ARS Pharmaceuticals sits at 65% SI % FF with 25.6 days to cover — a squeeze candidate worth watching.
