Here's Why Wall Street Is Betting Against Clovis Oncology

Clovis Oncology (NASDAQ: CLVS), a commercial-stage biotech, has recently become a target among members of Reddit's WallStreetBets community with just that purpose in mind. Clovis Oncology is facing so many challenges right now that nearly 30% of its outstanding shares have been borrowed and sold short in order to bet against the company's success.
