KR heads into its Q3 earnings print on September 15 with short interest climbing sharply and options traders more defensive than they've been in months — a charged setup for a stock already under analyst pressure. The…
Micron Technology has given back ground this week, slipping 4.4% on Thursday after a strong month — and with the September 30 earnings date closing in, the question is whether last week's record-breaking momentum can…
Nebius Group enters the week with a sharply changed short-side story — a 15% single-week drop in short interest marks a decisive renewal of the covering trend that had stalled through early September, and it arrives…
MDV has snapped back to a fully exhausted borrow market after a brief window of relief last week — and with earnings less than three weeks away, the squeeze dynamic has reset to its most extreme level. The brief easing…
ASST — Strive, Inc. — has doubled its share price in a month while shorts quietly rebuild and the borrow market has gone completely dry, creating one of the more charged setups in the small-cap space right now. The…
Rezolve AI heads into the week with its most expensive borrow market in over a month — and a short position that has now grown for ten consecutive sessions since the September 1 earnings shock. The borrow story is the…
Hertz dropped another 9.7% on the week to $2.05, and the short position just made its biggest one-day jump in months — a combination that sharpens the tension between a still-frozen lending market and a stock that has…
ADBE has just passed its September 10 earnings event and the market's verdict is already visible in the tape: down 1.8% on the day and 12.2% across the past week, the stock is processing whatever the print delivered…
NVIDIA has given up ground this week, but the pullback looks more like a pause in a crowded one-way tape than a reversal of the post-earnings trend. The stock slipped 3.6% on the week and another 1.9% in Thursday's…
Skyworks Solutions enters the week in a peculiar position: the stock is up 17.5% in five sessions and 22% over the past month, yet short interest has climbed sharply alongside it — a combination that makes the borrow…
FormFactor snapped back 7.4% on Friday to close at $103.90, recovering some of a bruising month that still leaves the stock down 13.6% over thirty days — and the divergence between that one-day pop and where analysts…
CRWV snapped back 5.8% on the week to close at CAD 16.86 — a sharp reversal from the 7% slide flagged in last week's note — yet the data points underneath the surface paint a more complicated picture than a simple…
ORCL — CPI FIM SA — closed at €0.83 on September 7, flat on the week and up roughly 11% over the past month, continuing the pattern of sharp, episodic moves on a name where conventional market analysis has little…
Super Micro Computer has gained nearly 25% in a month, the short base keeps shrinking, and the Street has lifted targets — yet the consensus still refuses to turn bullish. The most striking development in positioning…
SoundHound AI heads into the final stretch of summer with shorts back on the offensive, a fully exhausted lending pool, and options traders the most bullish they've been in a year. The most notable shift this week is…
Ondas Inc. enters the week of September 8 with the short position locked in place, the lending market fully exhausted, and the stock having given back another 3.5% — a combination that has defined the past fortnight…
IREN is doing something this week that the heavily-entrenched short base has not had to deal with in months: the stock is rallying hard, and there are virtually no shares left to borrow. The price move is the starting…
DFEM has had a calm week, with the ETF adding 1.7% to close at $41.00 — and the data behind the price tells a similarly undramatic story. Short interest is low and falling fast. At just 0.39% of the float, bears have…
WEN has quietly resolved one of the contradictions that defined the past two weeks — cost to borrow has crashed back to earth even as short covering continues — and the result is a stock that looks incrementally less…
Hims & Hers Health enters the week with the stock down another 4% — extending a bruising month that has now erased nearly 14% — while short interest edges quietly higher and the analyst community tries to find a…
