Short sellers made bold moves in the past seven days. Wolfspeed led all mid-cap movers. Its SI % FF jumped from 60.4% to 89.3% — a rise of nearly 29 percentage points in one week. The semiconductor firm is already the second most-shorted US stock overall.
Carvana saw a sharp jump too. SI % FF leapt from 2.1% to 10.1% — an 8-point surge. Bears appear to be fading the used-car platform's recent rally.
Chewy also drew fresh shorts. Its SI % FF rose from 40.6% to 48.0% in seven days. Lucid Group was another EV target, climbing from 27.7% to 34.7%.
On the short-score front, Rumble tops the mid-to-large cap list with a score of 89. Availability is near zero at 0.4%. SoundHound AI carries a score of 86 and a cost to borrow of 25%.
Ahead of Monday earnings, Aspire Biopharma has near-zero availability — a classic setup for a volatile open. shorts are also rebuilding into its earnings print.
Bears remain active. Watch the squeeze candidates closely.
