Bears Swarm Wolfspeed as SI Hits 114%

Short sellers turned most aggressive on WOLF this week. Its SI % of Free Float jumped 25 points in seven days. It now stands at 113.8% — one of the highest readings in the entire US market.

WOLF has surged 209% over three months. That surge is drawing heavy short interest. Bears are betting the chipmaker's rally is overdone. Days to cover sit at 7.9, meaning an unwind could get painful fast.

WIX also drew fresh attention. Short interest climbed 2.9 points to 29.1% of free float. QUBT rose to 31.6%, up 2 points on the week — quantum computing hype continues to attract skeptics.

NNE, the micro-cap nuclear energy play trending on social platforms, saw SI climb to 24.9%, up 2.5 points. Retail enthusiasm for small nuclear names is drawing a sharp short response.

LFVN holds the highest ORTEX short score at 99.6. Its cost to borrow is a punishing 73.9% APR. GLSI is even pricier to short at 191% CTB.

Among mega-caps, TSLA short interest stays low at 2.7% of FF. Bears have largely stepped back from the name. META is similar at 1.3% — despite CEO Mark Zuckerberg telling staff no more layoffs are planned this year.

The clearest story right now: short sellers are hunting in high-momentum, speculative names. Where retail buys hard, bears follow.
