Short sellers added hard to Dave Inc. this week. SI % of FF jumped to 29.2% from 20.5% — an 8.8 percentage-point rise in just seven days. That's the biggest weekly increase among US stocks with a market cap above $500M.
SLM Corporation, the student loan giant, also drew fresh attention from bears. Its SI % FF climbed to 16.2% from 12.1% over the same period, up 4.1 points. Rising credit risk chatter around consumer lending appears to be the driver.
Corsair Gaming saw shorts step up too. SI hit 17.2%, a 3.2-point gain week-on-week, as the gaming hardware maker continues to struggle in a weak PC market.
On the other side, Lucid Group saw some short covering. SI fell from 36% to 34.8%, though bears still control a massive chunk of the float. The cost to borrow sits at 11.2%, making it one of the priciest shorts in the market.
Broadcom grabbed headlines after a 12% single-day drop on revenue concerns. Yet SI remains a modest 1.1% — bulls still dominate there despite the selloff.
Super Micro Computer holds 15.3% SI % FF. Bears are watching closely as the AI server stock faces ongoing scrutiny.
