Applied Optoelectronics heads into its August earnings with a striking contradiction at its core: a stock up 10% on the week and 12% on Tuesday alone, yet one where every recent insider transaction has been a sale. The…
Ardmore Shipping Corporation heads into its July 31 earnings release with short sellers quietly rebuilding positions and cost-to-borrow more than doubling in a week — a contrast with the stock's best weekly performance…
T-Mobile US arrives at its July 23 earnings date with a quieter short-selling picture than last week — but a Street that keeps trimming price targets even as the stock edges higher. The most notable shift in…
ABBV closed Tuesday at $244.78, down 4% from the July 10 close cited in last week's note — and the Street's response has been to keep raising targets anyway. The analyst upgrade wave that defined last week's story has…
ServiceNow heads into its July 22 earnings print with the stock down sharply from last week's highs — reversing much of the rally that prompted the previous note — and with short sellers moving in the opposite…
Palo Alto Networks has bounced hard from last week's pullback, adding nearly 7% on Tuesday to close at $352.89, and the analyst target picture has shifted materially enough that the uncomfortable dynamic flagged in the…
SMH is trading at $600.31 — up 3.2% on the week — yet the borrow market is now at its most constrained point of the past year, with shorts refusing to cover into the rally. The lending picture has deteriorated…
CPRI has lost 14% in a single week, falling to $16.68, and shorts have returned with conviction — reversing what looked like a meaningful unwind just days ago. The prior note, published Friday, described short sellers…

HCA Healthcare enters its July 24 earnings report under fresh pressure — down 14% on the week, with options traders buying protection at the most aggressive pace in a year. The clearest signal this week is in the…
Meta Platforms pulled back slightly from last week's $669 peak to close Tuesday at $661, but the positioning picture heading into July 22 earnings remains firmly bullish — with options, borrow, and analyst consensus…
BankUnited enters its July 22 earnings print with an unusual combination: short interest jumping 15% in a week while the borrow market stays almost entirely undemanding — a setup that says bears are adding but doing so…
Targa Resources Corp. enters the week before its August 6 earnings release with a rare alignment: the Street is actively raising targets, the stock is making new ground at $281.60, and short positioning offers…
VOO enters the back half of July with its most striking reversal yet: the put/call ratio that spent the past month near record highs has collapsed in a single session, even as the fund itself retreated from its…

EUSA, the iShares MSCI USA Equal Weighted ETF, closes the week with an oddly active lending market for a fund this lightly shorted. Short interest is negligible at just 0.5% of float — not a number that normally…
COPX enters mid-July with a sharp tension between a powerful near-term price rally and a short position that, while retreating, remains meaningful against a backdrop of loosening borrow conditions. The price move is…
