GRPN fell another 11% on Friday to close at $16.46, extending a weekly loss of nearly 19% — yet the short base has barely moved, and the borrow market remains almost completely frozen. The most striking feature of this…
Commerzbank is at the centre of one of Europe's most closely watched corporate dramas — and the lending market is pricing it in fast. The clearest signal is the pace of short-interest growth. CBK's short interest has…
DELL is now trading $90 below where it opened after the May 28 earnings gap — and the data shows shorts treating the pullback as an opportunity to cover, not to reload. The price story is the headline tension. Dell…
Penguin Solutions dropped 16% on Friday to $59.86 — yet the stock is still up 7% on the week and an extraordinary 64% over the past month. That tension is the story: a stock that has nearly quadrupled from its April…
HTZ carries one of the heaviest short positions in the US market right now — and yet bears have been quietly retreating for six weeks. That tension between a structurally massive short base and an orderly covering…
Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company is entering the summer with short sellers quietly walking away from one of Hong Kong's most actively contested fibre names. The question is whether the…
CleanSpark enters the weekend in an unusual position: the stock fell 15% over the past five sessions, yet short sellers are actually covering — not piling in. Short interest at 33.4% of the free float makes CleanSpark…
Capricor Therapeutics enters the weekend with shorts firmly in control — the stock down 11% on the week, short interest at a multi-month peak, and the borrow market tightening faster than at any point in recent…
ASST heads into the weekend with a damaging juxtaposition: a $2.55 billion shelf prospectus filed on June 5 landing the same week the stock fell 21%. The prospectus is the headline story this week. Strive registered up…
CHA delivered a blowout first quarter, then filed a stock shelf within days of the rally — and the market has spent this week pricing in what that means. The Q1 beat was emphatic. Adjusted EPS of $0.38 crushed the…
Falcon's Beyond Global enters the early June period with an unusual tension at its core: the stock has rallied strongly over the past month even as a major insider offloads tens of millions of dollars in shares and the…
GPCR enters the week with a sharp split between the data and the price action. The most important development is the publication of Phase 2b results for aleniglipron in Nature Medicine on June 5. The data showed up to…
APO enters its June 8 earnings release with the most call-heavy options positioning in at least a year — yet the stock has slipped quietly and insiders have been selling into the pre-print strength. The options signal…
Riskified heads into the summer with a persistent seller sitting at the table — a board member and 10% owner who has unloaded shares on fourteen of the last eighteen trading days. The insider story is the clearest…
Driven Brands Holdings enters the summer with a notable contradiction — short sellers have been unwinding at pace, yet the analysts who cover the stock kept cutting targets just weeks ago. The short cover story is the…
Spotify heads into the summer with a sharp divergence between a buoyant analyst community and options traders who turned notably more defensive on Friday. The options signal is the clearest tension of the week. The…
Four Corners Property Trust emerges from its June 4 earnings print with short sellers pulling back and the borrow market more relaxed than it has been all year. The most notable shift since the pre-earnings note is in…
Uniti Group Inc. enters the back half of 2026 with an interesting divergence: Wall Street has spent the past month raising its price targets, short interest has been quietly trimmed, and the stock is up 4% on the week…
Quanex Building Products Corporation delivered exactly the result that pre-earnings short sellers had positioned for — and now the question is whether that trade is already done. The stock fell 13.4% on June 5,…
