Shorting Acorda Therapeutics shares

There are currently 675,629 Acorda Therapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as Acorda Therapeutics's "short interest". This figure is 15% down from 794,667 last month.

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

Acorda Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Acorda Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Acorda Therapeutics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Acorda Therapeutics shares traded daily (recently around 414496.3190184). Acorda Therapeutics's SIR currently stands at 1.63. In other words for every 100,000 Acorda Therapeutics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1630 shares are currently held short.

However Acorda Therapeutics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Acorda Therapeutics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Acorda Therapeutics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Acorda Therapeutics's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Acorda Therapeutics shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.089% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Acorda Therapeutics shares, roughly 89 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 Acorda Therapeutics.
