Short sellers are actively building positions in several high-profile names this week. Dave Inc. stands out as the biggest mover. Its short interest jumped nearly 9 percentage points in just seven days. SI now sits at 29.2% of free float — a level that raises squeeze risk.
Intuitive Machines carries 24.4% SI % FF. Availability is extremely tight at just 15.8% of short interest. The founder is selling shares into recent weakness. That combination — heavy shorts, scarce borrow, insider sales — makes this one to watch.
Nuclear energy play Oklo has 21% SI % FF. Shorts stayed dug in even after a recent earnings bounce faded. With a $10B market cap, the bearish thesis is large.
Meanwhile, Reddit favourites GameStop and AMC Entertainment remain in focus. GME sits at 13.3% SI % FF with cost to borrow still well below 1%. MSTR (Strategy) holds 12.2% SI % FF. Neither is seeing dramatic moves right now.
Concrete Pumping Holdings rocketed 33% recently, catching shorts offside. With SI only at 4.2% and availability over 2,400%, a prolonged squeeze looks unlikely — but the pain was real.
