Bears Target Cerebras, Birkenstock and Hertz

Short sellers made bold moves this week. CBRS saw the biggest jump — SI % of FF leapt from 6.3% to 27.7% in just seven days. The AI chip maker is now one of the fastest-growing short targets in the market.

BIRK also drew fresh attention from bears. Short interest climbed to 30.9% of free float, up nearly 9 points in a week. The cost to borrow sits at a steep 19.3%, signalling tight supply and strong bearish demand.

HTZ remains in the crosshairs. SI % of FF hit 45%. Availability is just 19%, making new short positions costly to establish.

On the squeeze side, WOLF saw bears retreat. Short interest dropped 18 points to 99.8% — still sky-high, but the covering move is notable. Availability is at zero, suggesting a painful squeeze could still be building.

Among social favourites, SOUN leads with 38.1% SI of FF. LCID follows at 33.8% with a 12.7% cost to borrow. GME sits at 13%. Bitcoin's drop below $61,000 hit crypto-linked names — MSTR carries 12.2% SI as sentiment sours.
