ASST heads into the back half of October with its borrow market substantially looser than it was a month ago, even as the stock remains 10% below its one-month peak and analysts keep pushing their targets higher. The…
NP has reported quarterly results, and while short interest sits at its highest level in over a year, the position is modest compared to most of its closest correlated peers. Among the insurance broker names, BRO…
The Bitwise XRP ETF's now-familiar short-cycle pattern has reached another trough, with positioning lighter than at any point in the past month and the borrow market wide open. Short interest has continued its retreat…
SKYD fell 23% in the past week to $7.10, a move that dwarfs the pain felt across its closest correlated names: AMCX dropped 7.5%, PUBM fell 7.6%, and NMAX lost 16.6%, while MNTN and SBGI actually gained ground, up 6.9%…
Firefly Aerospace heads into its November 10 earnings report with short sellers adding exposure, retail attention spiking, and a peer group in freefall, a setup that puts the stock's recent 22% monthly decline in sharp…
CHA heads into the week with a fresh analyst upgrade, a doubling of short interest over the past month, and earnings on the horizon, three threads that don't yet point in the same direction. The most immediate…
KLAR heads into its November 18 earnings date with short sellers rebuilding positions, borrow availability drying up fast, and options traders turning more defensive than they have been in months. The clearest tension…
Short sellers added 24% to their position in CoreWeave over the past week, the most aggressive build since the stock's IPO cohort. ORTEX estimates 77.9 million shares short as of October 20, equal to 20.2% of the free…

SNDK short sellers have been retreating from the stock at a steady pace, even as the share price has dropped nearly 8% over the past week to close at $1,365. Short interest now stands at 3.4% of the free float, its…
BLK is having its best week in months, and the catalyst is clear: a strong Q3 print followed by a wave of analyst upgrades that has redrawn the consensus picture almost overnight. The stock closed at $1,128.68 on…
BTC, the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust, is showing an unusual split this week: short interest is building at its fastest pace in months while the cost to maintain those positions is actually falling. The short position…

GE Vernova has shed 11.3% over the past week to close at $890.33, yet the short sellers who might be expected to pile in have done the opposite: short interest has fallen 20% over the past month to 2.6% of free float,…
