WOLF is the week's standout short-interest mover. Short interest as a percentage of free float hit 94.9% — up a massive 11.2 percentage points in just seven days. With zero shares available to borrow and a cost to borrow of 13.3%, new short positions are nearly impossible to open. That raises the squeeze risk sharply.
CHWY is another name under heavy pressure. SI % FF sits at 52.2%, creeping up 2.1pp this week. Availability is unusually high at 604% of short interest, meaning plenty of ammo remains for bears to add. The stock is one of the most structurally shorted names in the US.
NNE — NANO Nuclear Energy — saw shorts grow to 25.9% of free float, up 2.2pp on the week. Availability is razor-thin at just 5%. Ongoing retail buzz around nuclear energy keeps this stock on social watchlists.
On the squeeze side, saw the sharpest short cover, down 5pp to FF. and also shed over 3pp each.
Popular meme names remain elevated. GME holds at 16.2% FF. MSTR sits at 12.1%. Both have ample borrow available, limiting immediate squeeze potential.
