Shorting Aclaris Therapeutics shares
There are currently 682,337 Aclaris Therapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as Aclaris Therapeutics's "short interest". This figure is 5.7% up from 645,385 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Aclaris Therapeutics shares can be evaluated.
Aclaris Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Aclaris Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Aclaris Therapeutics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Aclaris Therapeutics shares traded daily (recently around 637698.13084112). Aclaris Therapeutics's SIR currently stands at 1.07. In other words for every 100,000 Aclaris Therapeutics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1070 shares are currently held short.
However Aclaris Therapeutics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Aclaris Therapeutics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Aclaris Therapeutics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Aclaris Therapeutics's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Aclaris Therapeutics shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0167% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Aclaris Therapeutics shares, roughly 17 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Aclaris Therapeutics.
