Short sellers are making bold moves this week. WOLF tops the charts with SI at a staggering 131% of free float — up nearly 20 percentage points in seven days. Availability has dried to zero. Bears clearly see no floor for the chipmaker.
CHWY is another mover. Short interest hit 61% of free float, up almost 8 points on the week. Despite Ryan Cohen's involvement, shorts refuse to back off the online pet retailer.
GRND is the surprise of the week. Grindr's SI jumped from 2.3% to 12.9% in seven days — a massive 10-point leap. That's a rare and rapid build for a $2.3bn social platform.
TEM also caught attention. Tempus AI's SI rose 7 points to 30.5%. The AI health-data firm has been buzzy on social feeds but shorts are betting against the hype.
On the social favourites front, GME sits at 14.9% SI and MSTR at 12%. and remain lightly shorted at 2.7% and 1.3% respectively — retail bulls have kept the squeeze pressure off.
Meanwhile, SHAK saw its SI drop 5 points to 12.8%. Shorts are covering on Shake Shack after a strong recent run.
