Short sellers made bold moves this week. Wolfspeed tops the charts with SI hitting nearly 95% of free float — up 11.2 percentage points in just seven days. Availability has collapsed to zero, meaning there are virtually no shares left to borrow. The semiconductor firm has struggled with losses and debt concerns, and bears are showing no mercy.
Chewy also drew fresh short attention. SI climbed to 52.2% of FF, up 2.1pp on the week. Despite ample availability at 604%, the pet-retailer keeps attracting skeptics amid margin pressures.
Among smaller names, NANO Nuclear Energy saw SI jump to 25.9% from 23.7% a week ago. The micro-cap nuclear play has gained social media traction, yet short sellers are betting the hype won't last.
On popular platforms, GameStop remains a watch-list fixture. SI edged up to 16.2% — modest movement, but enough to keep squeeze hunters interested. Rivian holds steady at , with barely any change week-on-week.
Meanwhile, well-known names look calm. Tesla SI sits at just 2.75% and NVIDIA at 1.2% — bears have little appetite for two of the market's biggest momentum stories right now.
