Ondas ( NASDAQ:ONDS ) is drawing the highest short interest among the five names highlighted, with short positions representing 40.40% of shares outstanding. That puts the stock at the center of attention for investors watching potential volatility.
SoundHound AI ( NASDAQ:SOUN ) follows closely, with short interest at 39.50%. The level is notable given the company's position in application software, one of the industries appearing frequently among heavily shorted stocks.
NETSTREIT ( NYSE:NTST ) ranks next at 30.74%, while Centrus Energy (LEU) and CleanSpark ( NASDAQ:CLSK ) stand at 28.95% and 28.69%, respectively. The figures show that short positioning extends across technology, energy and real estate.
High short interest does not necessarily mean a stock will rise. However, sharp moves can occur if investors betting against a company begin closing those positions.
These five names could face elevated trading volatility as investors weigh short positioning against company-specific developments.
