Shorting Aduro Biotech shares

There are currently 3.2 million Aduro Biotech shares held short by investors – that's known as Aduro Biotech's "short interest". This figure is 2.7% down from 3.3 million last month.

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

Aduro Biotech's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Aduro Biotech's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Aduro Biotech shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Aduro Biotech shares traded daily (recently around 688870.17167382). Aduro Biotech's SIR currently stands at 4.66. In other words for every 100,000 Aduro Biotech shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4660 shares are currently held short.

However Aduro Biotech's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Aduro Biotech shares, or, against the total number of tradable Aduro Biotech shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Aduro Biotech's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Aduro Biotech shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0486% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Aduro Biotech shares, roughly 49 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 Aduro Biotech.
