WOLF dominated the short interest leaderboard this week. The semiconductor firm's SI % of Free Float hit 94.9% — virtually the entire tradeable float. That's up +11.2 percentage points in just seven days, the biggest weekly jump among mid-cap stocks globally.
Zero shares are available to borrow. Cost to borrow sits at 13.3% APR. With a 214% price gain over three months, bears appear to be doubling down on a reversal.
Biggest Movers This Week
Delivery Hero saw SI % FF jump +6.8pp to 20.1%. European e-commerce names are drawing fresh short attention. Spanish pharma firm Grifols climbed to 34.5% short interest, up 3.7pp.
On the squeeze side, XOMA Royalty dropped 3.9pp to 76.9% — still elevated but bears are trimming. KalVista Pharmaceuticals fell 5pp to 33.6%.
In Focus: High-SI Names
1-800-Flowers sits at a punishing 78.3% SI % FF with 11.5 days-to-cover. That's a classic squeeze setup. Availability is over 112%, so more shorts can pile in — for now.
NVDA remains a non-story for bears. Short interest is just 1.2% of FF. After blockbuster Q1 earnings, the stock is firmly in bull hands.
Roblox edged higher Thursday. SI stands at only 3.3% of FF — shorts are not a factor here despite the recent buzz.
