Short sellers have been active this week. Dave Inc. saw the biggest jump, with SI % of Free Float leaping from 16.7% to 30.4% in just seven days — a gain of nearly 14 percentage points.
Chewy remains one of the most-shorted names in the market. Its SI % FF hit 57.9%, adding 6.5 points week-on-week. With a $5.2B market cap and cost to borrow just 0.43%, bears face little friction piling in.
Grindr also appeared on radars. Short interest jumped from 1.4% to 12.4% of float — an 11-point move that puts the stock firmly on watch.
On the other side, Shake Shack saw shorts retreat. SI fell 5 points to 12.8%, suggesting some bears are covering after a tough run.
Roblox is drawing attention in options markets too. ORTEX data flagged a bearish options build, with put/call activity pushing back — even though SI % FF sits at just 4%.
The AI healthcare name also saw shorts grow, with SI % FF rising from 23.3% to over the week. Bears appear unconvinced by recent momentum in the AI health sector.
