Short sellers turned aggressive this past week. Wolfspeed saw the biggest jump — SI % of free float rocketed from 71.8% to 106.2% in just seven days. That is a 34-point spike. Cost to borrow hit 17%, signalling a scramble for available shares.
Carvana is the other standout. SI % FF leapt from 2.1% to 10.1% — a near five-fold increase. Bears are clearly reassessing the used-car giant after its recent rally.
Chewy also drew more shorts. SI climbed to 48% of free float, up 7.4 points on the week. Lucid Group saw a similar build, rising to 34.7%, with cost to borrow at 9.8%.
Lyft quietly crept up to 28.9% SI % FF. Rideshare bears added 4 points in a week.
On the squeeze watch list, Snowflake is drawing attention — bears are retreating ahead of its Q1 earnings print. tells the opposite story, with bears actively building positions before its own results.
ARS Pharmaceuticals sits at 65.2% SI % FF with availability near zero — a tight float that could spark a sharp move if sentiment shifts.
