Short sellers made bold moves in the week ending June 5. The biggest mover was DAVE — Dave Inc.'s short interest jumped to 28.8% of free float, up from 20.4% just seven days earlier. That's an 8.4 percentage point spike. Bears are clearly skeptical of the fintech lender's recent run.
APTV also drew fresh shorts. Aptiv's SI climbed from 4.2% to 6.3% in a week. The auto parts maker faces ongoing pressure from EV transition headwinds.
AI data center play CRWV (CoreWeave) saw shorts add too — SI rose to 18.3% from 16.3%. With the stock in focus after its IPO earlier this year, skeptics continue to build positions.
On the unwind side, WOLF (Wolfspeed) saw its extreme short position ease slightly. SI dropped from 130% to 120% — still the most heavily shorted name in the US. Short covering may be squeezing bears.
GME sits at 13% SI. Chip giants NVDA and remain lightly shorted at just 1.3% and 1.1% respectively. With chip stocks staging a comeback — Intel and Micron cited among big gainers — short sellers there are notably absent.
