Nvidia, currently facing $34.4 billion in short bets, has become the largest short in the US market, surpassing Apple and Tesla. Despite a 143% surge in its stock price, investors are betting on a decline, viewing it as a momentum stock and a hedge against the market and tech sector. These short bets represent only 1% of Nvidia's total market value but are nearly double the combined short exposures of Apple ($19.4B) and Tesla ($18.4B). S3 Partners' managing director, Ihor Dusaniwsky, noted the significant short interest as Nvidia threatens to overtake Microsoft as the world's most valuable company.
