Short sellers added pressure to WOLF this week. Short interest hit 118.8% of free float — up 5.4 percentage points in seven days. The semiconductor chipmaker remains one of the most heavily shorted US stocks. Bears show no sign of backing off.
WBI — WaterBridge Infrastructure — saw the sharpest weekly jump. SI leapt from 28% to 39.5% of free float, a gain of 11.5 points. That is a significant build in a single week.
SPB — Spectrum Brands — also attracted fresh shorts. SI rose from 13.6% to 20.5%, up nearly 7 points. The consumer goods company is now firmly in the crosshairs.
PAYC — Paycom Software — saw SI climb to 14.8%, up 3.5 points. Analysts trimmed forecasts on rival SaaS names this week, adding broader pressure to the sector.
SWKS — Skyworks Solutions — ticked up to 18.7% as chip sector sentiment stays mixed.
On the other side, GME shorts retreated. SI fell from 17.4% to 16.2% in a week. TSLA and NVDA remain lightly shorted at 2.7% and 1.2% respectively — neither attracts meaningful bear interest right now.
