Short sellers shifted gears sharply this week. The biggest mover is DAVE. Its SI % of Free Float jumped to 28.8%, up 8.4 percentage points in just seven days. That's the largest weekly increase among mid-cap US names.
CRWV (CoreWeave) also drew fresh bearish attention. SI rose to 18.3% of FF, up 2 points on the week. Bears appear unconvinced by the AI infrastructure hype. The stock carries a $44.9B market cap.
On the squeeze side, WOLF saw its extreme short position ease slightly. SI fell 10.7 points to 119.7% of FF — still the most shorted name in the US by a wide margin. Cost to borrow sits at 8.8% APR. Availability is 0%. Shorts are stuck.
ARCC flashed a borrow alarm today. Utilization hit 100% — tied to a 52-week high — with availability collapsing to just 1.6% of short interest. That's the tightest borrow in months for the BDC giant.
NNE also attracted new shorts. The nuclear energy small-cap climbed to 26% SI % FF, up 2.3 points. Availability stands at just 13%, keeping the squeeze risk live.
RDDT is under social media scrutiny after missing S&P 500 inclusion. SI sits near 10% of FF. Sentiment on Reddit's own platform reportedly turned hostile after the snub.
