Bears are on the move. Data from ORTEX shows some sharp shifts in short positioning over the past week.
HOG saw one of the biggest increases among recognizable names. Short Interest % of Free Float jumped to 16.6% from 14.1% — a 2.5 percentage point rise in seven days. Harley-Davidson faces tariff headwinds and slowing bike demand. Bears are betting the pain isn't over.
NNE tells a similar story. Shorts in NANO Nuclear Energy climbed to 27.7% of free float, up 3.7 points week-on-week. The nuclear hype trade is attracting heavy scepticism.
FICO is another fresh addition to the watch list. Short interest rose to 10.8% from 8.6%. That's a notable build in the credit-scoring giant.
On the other side, short covering dominated in WOLF. Wolfspeed's SI fell nearly 9 points to 118% of free float — still extraordinary, but shorts are pulling back fast.
ULCC (Frontier Group) also saw meaningful covering, down 4 points to 36%.
