Short sellers are piling into WOLF at a striking pace. Short interest hit 98.2% of free float — up from 42.4% just 30 days ago. That's a 55.9 percentage point jump, the largest increase tracked across US mid-caps this month.
Wolfspeed makes silicon carbide chips for electric vehicles and power grids. The company has faced persistent margin pressure and debt concerns. Shares available to borrow have hit zero, signalling shorts are fully committed.
CHWY is also under fire. Short interest stands at 53.1% of free float, up 11.4 points in 30 days. The pet retailer has struggled to turn a profit despite strong revenue growth. Availability remains high at 511%, suggesting room for more shorts to pile in.
CVNA tells the opposite story. Short interest rose 7.9 points to 10% of free float. Yet with 515% availability and a cost to borrow near zero, bears aren't squeezed — they're just building. Carvana's $46bn market cap makes it one of the most watched bets in the market.
FLNC rounds out the watch list. Short interest climbed 6.1 points to 29.8% of free float over the same period. The energy storage company has faced questions about order pipelines and competition from larger rivals.
