Wolfspeed sits at the eye of the short-selling storm. SI hit 98.2% of free float as of May 21. That jumped nearly 5 percentage points in just one week. Zero availability remains — there are no shares left to borrow. The chip maker's ongoing cash burn and debt load keep attracting bears.
Chewy also saw shorts increase. SI rose to 53.1% of free float, up 2.5 points week-on-week. Despite heavy short pressure, availability is 511% — plenty of room for more bets against the pet retailer.
Columbia Sportswear saw a sharp new bearish move. SI jumped from 12.4% to 16.0% in seven days. That 3.6-point rise puts the outdoor apparel brand on watch for potential squeeze risk.
Robert Half attracted fresh shorts too. SI climbed to 29.1%, up nearly 3 points. The staffing firm faces headwinds from a cooling hiring market.
On the other side, Allegiant Travel saw shorts retreat fast. SI fell from 11.5% to 7.4% — a 4-point drop in a week. Availability soared to 2,236%, signalling bears are closing out.
Among megacaps, Rivian leads with 18.7% SI. GameStop holds at 15.8%, still drawing meme-stock attention on social platforms. NVIDIA and Apple remain lightly shorted at just 1.2% and 1.1% respectively.
