Short sellers are making bold moves this week. Wolfspeed tops the list for the biggest short interest jump. Its SI % of Free Float surged to 107%, up from 71% just seven days ago — a 36-point leap. That's the biggest weekly move among mid-cap US stocks. The semiconductor firm has been battling bankruptcy fears. Zero shares are available to borrow now. Bears are fully committed.
Lucid Group also drew fresh selling. Its SI % FF rose to 34.4%, up from 27.5% last week. The EV maker continues to bleed cash, and shorts see no let-up.
Chewy climbed to 37.7% SI % FF, up nearly 5 points in a week. That's notable given the stock has rallied 40%+ in three months. Availability is sky-high at 731% — shorts can still pile in easily.
On the squeeze watch list, SoundHound AI sits at 39% short interest with a cost to borrow of 25.5%. Shares available are near zero. Any positive catalyst could hurt bears hard.
Rumble remains a social-media favourite with 19.6% SI % FF and a 22% borrow cost. Short sellers are paying dearly to hold the trade.
Meanwhile, GameStop sits at 15.3% — still elevated but quiet. Tesla and NVIDIA remain lightly shorted at under 3% each, with near-unlimited share availability.
