Analyst rating data is temporarily unavailable. The following is based on ORTEX short interest data as of May 21, 2026.
Short sellers are moving fast inside the S&P 500. CVNA saw the sharpest rise. Its short interest jumped to 10.1% of free float. That is up from 2.2% just 30 days ago — a gain of nearly 8 percentage points.
WDAY is another name drawing fresh bears. Short interest climbed to 13.7% of free float. It stood at 7.9% a month ago.
CPB remains one of the most shorted S&P names. Its SI hit 24.2% of free float. It rose from 19.3% over the same 30-day window. The cost to borrow sits at 4.3% — the highest of this group.
FDS and SWKS also saw notable builds. FactSet climbed to 14.6% from 10.4%. Skyworks moved to 17.2% from 13.6%.
SATS tops the overall S&P short leaderboard at 30.6% of free float. Short sellers have added 4.4 percentage points in a month.
The broad pattern suggests bears are targeting companies facing earnings pressure or sector-level headwinds. Carvana's dramatic build stands out most. Investors will be watching whether these positions grow further in the weeks ahead.
