Shorting AAON shares

There are currently 3.4 million AAON shares held short by investors – that's known as AAON's "short interest". This figure is 4.6% down from 3.5 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting AAON shares can be evaluated.

AAON's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

AAON's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of AAON shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of AAON shares traded daily (recently around 213941.97844008). AAON's SIR currently stands at 15.77. In other words for every 100,000 AAON shares traded daily on the market, roughly 15770 shares are currently held short.

However AAON's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of AAON shares, or, against the total number of tradable AAON shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case AAON's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 AAON shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0969% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable AAON shares, roughly 97 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against AAON.

Have AAON's shares ever split?

AAON's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 17 July 2014. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your AAON shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for AAON shares which in turn could have impacted AAON's share price.

AAON share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, AAON's shares have ranged in value from as little as $40.2244 up to $81.25. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while AAON's is 0.6377. This would suggest that AAON's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
