Short sellers have found fresh targets. Wolfspeed leads all US stocks with a staggering 130% short interest as a percentage of free float. That figure rose nearly 16 percentage points in a single week. Availability sits at zero — there are no more shares to borrow.
Chewy is the other major mover. SI % FF jumped almost 8 points to 59%, despite the $5.4 billion pet retailer's shares trading near 52-week highs. Bears are clearly betting the rally won't last.

In meme stock territory, GameStop sits at 13% SI % FF and AMC Entertainment at 9.4%. Both remain elevated but without fresh catalysts. Tesla stays lightly shorted at 2.7%, reflecting bulls dominating that trade.
Shake Shack saw short sellers retreat — SI fell nearly 5 points to 13%. That unwinding could signal covering ahead of a catalyst.
The Anthropic IPO filing is dominating market chatter, drawing attention to AI-adjacent names. Watch Strategy Inc at nearly 12% SI % FF as Bitcoin sentiment swings.
