Tesla. SolarCity. Twitter. This $4 stock is next. (Ad)

Elon Musk has a clear pattern: when a supplier becomes mission-critical, he acquires it. He bought SolarCity for $2.6 billion and Twitter for $44 billion. Now one small company makes the equipment his Colossus supercomputer - a million GPUs consuming nearly $1 billion a month in power - cannot run without. Analyst Dylan Jovine has identified the name and ticker. For investors who own shares before a potential move, the math could be significant.tc pixel

Musk is burning $2.5 billion a quarter on AI. One company holds the key. (Ad)

SpaceX's S-1 filing reveals $7.7 billion spent on AI infrastructure in a single quarter - not chips, not software, but power infrastructure. The filing shows $23.85 billion in servers and $14 billion in construction in progress, all dependent on one company's hardware. Without this supplier, Colossus doesn't run and the $1.25 billion Anthropic pays monthly stops flowing. The stock is still trading like no one has read the filing - but analyst Dylan Jovine has, and he's releasing the name at no cost.tc pixel

Short selling FANG is an investing strategy that aims to generate trading profit from Diamondback Energy as its price is falling. FANG shares are trading up $2.31 today. To short a stock, an investor borrows shares, sells them and buys the shares back on the public market later to return it to the lender. Short sellers are betting that a stock will decline in price. If the stock does drop after selling, the short seller buys it back at a lower price and returns it to the lender. The difference between the sell price and the buy price is the trader's profit.

A short squeeze for Diamondback Energy occurs when it has a large amount of short interest and its stock increases in price. This forces short sellers to cover their short interest positions by buying actual shares of FANG, which in turn drives the price of the stock up even further.

Short interest is typically published by a stock exchange once per month. However, NASDAQ publishes a report for U.S. stocks, including FANG, twice per month. The most recent reporting period available is May, 29 2026.

Understanding short interest metrics can help you assess how traders are positioning around a stock like FANG:

  • Shares Sold Short: The total number of shares that have been sold by short sellers but have not yet been covered or closed out. A high number may indicate bearish sentiment.
  • Short Float: The percentage of a company’s publicly available shares (or "float") that are sold short. A higher short float suggests a greater portion of the stock is being bet against.
  • Days to Cover (Short Interest Ratio): This estimates how many days it would take short sellers to cover their positions, based on average daily trading volume. Higher values can signal potential for a short squeeze if buying pressure increases.

These metrics are often used by traders to gauge sentiment, volatility risk, and the potential for price movements based on short covering activity.
