High Short Interest with Ample Liquidity
Chewy (CHWY) continues to be one of the most heavily shorted stocks in the US market, with 74.1% of its free float currently sold short. Despite the massive scale of these positions, the lending market remains surprisingly liquid, with availability sitting at 484% of the total short interest. This indicates that while bears are heavily committed to the trade, they are not currently facing the same supply constraints seen in other high-short-interest names like Wolfspeed or Hertz. The ability to easily borrow shares suggests that the short position in Chewy is well-supported by the current securities lending market.
