Shorting Aemetis shares

There are currently 1.0 million Aemetis shares held short by investors – that's known as Aemetis's "short interest". This figure is 48.7% up from 696,716 last month.

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

Aemetis's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Aemetis's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Aemetis shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Aemetis shares traded daily (recently around 1.5 million). Aemetis's SIR currently stands at 0.68. In other words for every 100,000 Aemetis shares traded daily on the market, roughly 680 shares are currently held short.

However Aemetis's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Aemetis shares, or, against the total number of tradable Aemetis shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Aemetis's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Aemetis shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.057% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Aemetis shares, roughly 57 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 Aemetis.
