Michael Burry reiterates bullish Build-A-Bear position, citing short squeeze potential

Investor Michael Burry reiterated his bullish position in Build-A-Bear Workshop, arguing the retailer could be set for a short squeeze as bearish bets reach elevated levels, per a Business Insider report cited by Hedgeweek. The post states about 25% of publicly available shares are sold short, with short interest equal to almost nine days of average trading volume. It also states Build-A-Bear shares have fallen more than 50% in 2026, from a peak above $75 last year to approximately $25, and that Burry first disclosed a long position in August.
