WOLF is the standout short story of the week. Short interest jumped 34 percentage points in seven days. It now sits at 106% of free float. That is a staggering level for a $2.8B semiconductor firm. The stock has still rallied 250% over three months, leaving short sellers deeply underwater.
Among popular retail names, AMC saw short interest climb 1.8 points to 14% of free float. MSTR (Strategy Inc) ticked up 1.2 points to 12%. COIN rose nearly 1 point to 11.9%, tracking the crypto rally closely. Bears are quietly rebuilding positions in all three.
GME remains a persistent target at 15.2% of free float. The delta was minimal this week. No fresh squeeze catalyst is visible yet.
SOUN — SoundHound AI — carries 39% short interest with a cost to borrow of 25%. That is expensive. Short sellers are paying up to stay bearish on this AI voice play.
PCT (PureCycle Technologies) stands out with 47% SI and a 17-day days-to-cover. Availability is just 10.8%. Any positive news could accelerate a squeeze.
SNOW heads into its Q1 earnings print with bears retreating. SI held flat near 5%. Bulls appear to be gaining the upper hand ahead of results.
