US Stock Shorts Earn Whale Over $30M in Unrealized Profit

A whale heavily shorting US stocks has more than $30 million in total unrealized profit, with most positions showing gains. The positions are concentrated in AI, semiconductor and memory chip stocks.

Why it matters

The largest listed gain is $6.36 million on SNDK, followed by $4.03 million on INTC, $2.33 million on SOXL and $2.25 million on MU. Short positions generally gain when the underlying asset falls, although unrealized profits can change before a position is closed.

Market impact

The figures show a profitable bearish bet across chip-related assets, including SOXL, a leveraged semiconductor exchange-traded fund. The reported gains are not realized profits, and the positions remain exposed to further price moves.
