WOLF sits at the top of the most-shorted list. Short interest hit 130% of free float — a staggering level. Availability has collapsed to zero. That means no new shares are available to borrow. Cost to borrow stands at 9.4%.
The biggest weekly mover was GRND. Grindr's short interest jumped +10 percentage points in just seven days. It now sits at 12.2% of free float. With availability at 580%, bears can still add easily.
CHWY bears stepped up too. Short interest rose +7.95pp to 59.3% of free float. That is one of the highest readings among mid-cap US names. Chewy's availability remains very elevated at 708%, so more shorts can enter.
AI healthcare play TEM saw short interest climb +7.2pp to 30.5%. Tempus AI has drawn attention on social platforms as its stock rallied sharply in recent months. Bears appear to be fading the move.
WING shorts jumped to 19.1%. Wingstop has been widely discussed among retail investors. Short sellers are now firmly building positions.
On the other side, GME shorts are retreating. Short interest dropped 1.5pp to 13%. MSTR saw a slight dip too. Bitcoin fell below $70,000 this week. That has taken pressure off both names.
