Extreme Bearish Positioning in WOLF
Wolfspeed (WOLF) has become a primary target for short sellers as of early November. According to near-real-time data from Ortex, short interest has climbed to 87.5% of the company's free float. This level of short positioning indicates that the market is heavily betting against the semiconductor firm's near-term prospects.
Market Context
This surge in short interest places WOLF among the most heavily shorted stocks in the semiconductor and electric vehicle supply chain sectors. Investors should note that this figure represents an estimate of open positions derived from securities-lending data, which provides a more current view than the stale, twice-monthly FINRA reports. The high concentration of short interest suggests that any positive catalyst could trigger a significant short squeeze, though the current momentum remains firmly in the hands of the bears.
