Short sellers are making decisive moves this week. DAVE leads all US names with short interest jumping +8.76 percentage points in seven days. The fintech lender now sits at 29.2% of free float. Bears are clearly betting its rally runs out of road.
WBI (WaterBridge Infrastructure) is next, climbing to 34.96% SI — up 7.4pp in a week. Shorts are piling into the midstream name hard.
On the opposite end, WOLF (Wolfspeed) saw shorts cover aggressively. SI dropped 18.7pp to 112.5% of free float — still extreme, but the retreat is notable. Cost to borrow remains elevated at 9.3%, and availability sits at zero. Any squeeze catalyst here could be violent.
Mega-caps remain largely unbothered. TSLA SI holds steady at 2.69% FF. barely moved at 1.27%. is just 1.1% — shorts had no interest despite Broadcom's 12% stock drop after disappointing revenue guidance.
MSTR (Strategy Inc) edged up slightly to 12.2% FF. Peter Schiff reignited Bitcoin bear talk this week, but short sellers are not adding aggressively yet. Availability at 231% suggests plenty of ammo if they change their minds.
GME drifted down to 13.3%, flat on the week. The meme era looks quiet for now.
