Short sellers made notable moves this week. OKLO, the nuclear power startup, saw its short interest jump 21% in seven days. SI now sits at 23.5% of free float. The stock reports earnings on June 3. Availability is razor thin at just 9.8% of SI.
CHWY (Chewy) remains one of the most-shorted names in the market. Bears added nearly 8 percentage points in a week. SI is now 61% of free float — a level that makes squeeze risk very real.
WOLF (Wolfspeed) also drew more short sellers. Its SI climbed to 131% of free float, up ~20pp in the week. The semiconductor company continues to attract heavy bearish conviction.
TEM (Tempus AI) saw a 7pp weekly rise to 30.5% of FF. Shorts are building ahead of further AI sector volatility.
On the other side, VEEV shorts doubled but the borrow market is relaxed — availability stands at a massive 1,137% of SI. Plenty of room to run in either direction.
GRND (Grindr) was another mover, with SI jumping from 2.3% to 12.9% in just one week — a fresh and notable build worth watching.
