Shorting Aeglea BioTherapeutics shares

There are currently 2.8 million Aeglea BioTherapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as Aeglea BioTherapeutics's "short interest". This figure is 6.3% up from 2.7 million last month.

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

Aeglea BioTherapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Aeglea BioTherapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Aeglea BioTherapeutics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Aeglea BioTherapeutics shares traded daily (recently around 284236). Aeglea BioTherapeutics's SIR currently stands at 10. In other words for every 100,000 Aeglea BioTherapeutics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10000 shares are currently held short.

However Aeglea BioTherapeutics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Aeglea BioTherapeutics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Aeglea BioTherapeutics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Aeglea BioTherapeutics's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Aeglea BioTherapeutics shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0683% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Aeglea BioTherapeutics shares, roughly 68 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 Aeglea BioTherapeutics.
