Short sellers made bold moves in the week ending May 25. The biggest headline belongs to WOLF. Wolfspeed's short interest hit 117.5% of free float — up nearly 6 percentage points in seven days. Availability is now at zero. Bears have borrowed every share they can find.
WBI — WaterBridge Infrastructure — saw the sharpest jump among mid-caps. SI % of FF leaped from 27% to 43% in one week. That's a 15-point swing. Something is bothering the bears.
RHI also drew fresh attention. Robert Half's short interest climbed to 30% of free float, up 4 points week-on-week. Staffing sector concerns appear to be driving the move.
On the other side, WYNN saw shorts retreat. SI dropped from 15.1% to 11.7% — a 3.4-point unwinding. US-Iran diplomacy news lifted sentiment across leisure and travel names this week.
LUNR crashed today after losing a NASA lunar contract. Short interest already sits at 23% of free float. Availability is thin at under 10%. A squeeze remains possible if the stock stabilises.
APP surged on geopolitical optimism. With just 4.6% SI, short pressure there is light.
