Technip Energies has bounced 4% on the week to €37.24, but the recovery has been met with a CEO sale — and the borrow market is telling a cleaner, calmer story than it was six days ago. The most notable development…
OKLO is trading near where its own founders sold, with short sellers holding firm and a fresh earnings date on the calendar. The most striking feature of the current setup is insider behaviour. On May 1, co-founders…
MU hit a milestone today — and the headline behind it was an analyst call, not a product launch. UBS more than tripled its price target on Micron this morning, one of the most dramatic single-firm revisions the stock…
Capricor Therapeutics has reached a tentative plateau in short pressure, with the post-earnings bear build levelling off and borrow conditions loosening noticeably — though the underlying short position remains near…
Coinbase Global enters the last week of May with shorts pulling back modestly from last week's peak — but the broader picture remains one of elevated bearish conviction meeting a stock that has lost ground three months…
Navitas Semiconductor has added another 9% this week, reaching $24.38 — and the short sellers who survived the May 5 earnings rally are now sitting on fresh losses with June 25 earnings approaching. The stock's…
D-Wave Quantum just posted its biggest single-day gain in months, closing at $25.74 after a 33% Thursday spike — yet the short base barely moved, and the borrow market is tightening fast. That disconnect is the story…

Infleqtion delivered a 31% single-day gain on Thursday — and the options market had been quietly calling it. The clearest setup was in options positioning. The put/call ratio has been sliding for nearly a month,…
IonQ surged 12% in a single session on Thursday, yet more than a fifth of its free float remains sold short — and the lending pool has almost completely dried up. The sharpest signal in IonQ's current setup is the…
Rigetti Computing enters its June 9 earnings window with a sharp tension at its core: the stock just posted a 31% single-session gain, yet short sellers have been quietly adding to positions throughout May, and the…
Ralph Lauren just delivered its May 21 earnings print, and the stock is up 2.7% on the day — a relief bounce after a brutal month that stripped nearly 15% from the share price. The earnings release changes the…
TeraWulf heads into its June 9 earnings date with one of the more striking divergences in the bitcoin mining space — analysts racing to raise targets while company founders sold tens of millions worth of stock at the…
AST SpaceMobile is caught in a rare standoff: the stock just printed a 21% weekly gain while short sellers are adding, not retreating. The price move is the headline. ASTS closed at $88.10 on Tuesday, up more than 20%…
Xanadu Quantum Technologies has had one of the more eventful post-earnings weeks in the Canadian small-cap universe — the stock has cratered 61% over the past month, shorts have piled in at pace, and yet the borrow…
Palvella Therapeutics enters the week with a sharp split between options sentiment and short positioning — calls dominating the tape while nearly a fifth of the float remains borrowed against the stock. The most…
