AMCR enters the back half of May with a troubling combination: the stock is down 6.5% on the week and 12.5% over the past month, while short sellers are quietly rebuilding after a brief retreat following the May…
UFOX, the Defiance AI & Connective Tech ETF, has extended its rally into a second week — but options traders are quietly hedging more than they have in months. The most telling shift this week is in options…
IAUM has dropped sharply — down nearly 5% on the week and almost 8% over the past month — as gold prices retreated from their earlier 2026 highs. The headline lending story is broadly calm, but the short-interest trend…
TTAN heads into its June 3 earnings date having clawed back 8.6% on the week to $62.45, yet the short thesis has barely budged — and the Street's target cuts have yet to catch up with the recovery. Short positioning is…
DELL heads into its May 28 print with short sellers continuing their retreat and the analyst community scrambling to close the gap between targets and a stock that has already done most of the running. The short-side…
Short sellers have quietly but steadily rebuilt their position in ARES over the past month — and the timing, right ahead of a June 8 earnings call, sets up an interesting tension between a growing bearish positioning…
CI enters the week with a fresh analyst divergence that frames the rest of the picture: Deutsche Bank downgraded the stock to Hold this morning, even while cutting its price target only marginally to $302. At the same…
Ondas Inc. enters the back half of May with its lending pool effectively exhausted — a material escalation from the friction flagged just days ago. The borrow market has moved from tight to near-closed in less than a…
NIO has shed 5.6% this week to $5.74, reversing the pre-earnings optimism that defined the prior two notes — the Q1 print landed, the bullish options setup has unwound, and positioning now looks measurably more…
Bloom Energy reports Q1 results on May 21 with short sellers making a modest retreat — but options traders running their most defensive posture of the past year. The shift in short positioning is a meaningful update…
Tenable Holdings enters its Q1 earnings call on May 21 with shorts still dug in despite one of the sharpest weekly moves in the cybersecurity sector. The stock gained 20% on the week and 30% over the past month to…
ARTY — the iShares Future AI & Tech ETF — heads into the week with a notable divergence: options positioning has turned sharply more bullish even as the ETF gives back ground it gained over the past month. The options…
GLDM, the SPDR Gold MiniShares Trust, has dropped nearly 5% this week — but the short side of the trade remains almost non-existent. Gold's pullback is the story here, not the shorts. GLDM closed at $88.70 on Tuesday,…
The caution flagged in last week's note has not faded — QTUM is drifting lower with short interest climbing sharply and options traders maintaining their defensive lean. Short interest has almost tripled since late…
AMRX enters this week's session caught between a fresh analyst upgrade and a stock that has shed 15% in a month — a gap that defines the current setup for Amneal Pharmaceuticals. Options positioning is the most charged…
Bilibili enters its Q1 earnings call on May 21 carrying one of the tightest borrow markets in the Chinese internet space — a setup unchanged from the earnings preview published earlier this week, with availability…
AVGO enters the final stretch before its June 3 earnings with a modest pullback from recent highs, a cost-to-borrow spike worth watching, and options traders showing just a touch more caution than last week. The price…
SELLAS Life Sciences Group has gained 45% in a week, yet short sellers have barely moved — and the borrow market is tightening again. A week ago this note flagged the tension between a rallying biotech and an…
