WOLF tops the most-shorted list with a staggering 131% SI % FF. That figure jumped nearly 20 percentage points in just seven days. The chipmaker's availability has hit zero — meaning virtually no new shares are available to borrow.
CHWY is another name bears are piling into. Short interest rose almost 8 points this week to 61% of the free float. Despite that pressure, availability sits at a very high 541%, giving short sellers plenty of room to add positions.
GRND saw the sharpest relative surge among consumer names. Grindr's SI % FF leapt from 2.3% to 12.9% in a week — a near fivefold jump. That is a fresh and notable build worth watching.
TEM — Tempus AI — also drew fresh shorts. Its SI % FF rose over 7 points to 30.5% as markets question AI sector valuations.
On the squeeze side, SHAK shed over 5 points of short interest. FLNC and also saw meaningful short covering.
Social media darlings GME and TSLA remain far off their peak short levels. GME sits at 14.9% and Tesla at just 2.7% of the free float.
