The analyst data feed is temporarily unavailable, but ORTEX short interest data tells a compelling story about where institutional skepticism is building.
WOLF tops the bearish conviction table by a wide margin. Short interest in Wolfspeed hit 98.2% of free float as of May 21. That is up 56 percentage points in just 30 days. The silicon carbide chipmaker has struggled with profitability. Bears are firmly in control.
CHWY is the second most notable name. Chewy's short interest climbed to 53.1% of FF, up 11.4 points over 30 days. Availability sits at 511% of short interest, meaning plenty of shares remain available to borrow. Shorts are adding but the squeeze risk is contained for now.
CVNA draws attention too. Carvana's short interest rose sharply, up nearly 8 percentage points over the month to 10%. The move is notable given its $46 billion market cap. Bears appear to be fading the stock's strong 2025 rally.
LCID rounds out the movers. Lucid Group's short interest rose to 35.8% of FF. Availability is near zero at just 0.05% of short interest. That signals extreme borrow scarcity and a potential squeeze setup.
Wolfspeed remains the standout. Near-100% short interest is rare among $3B+ companies and marks it as the most contested stock in the US market right now.
