Shorting Air T shares

There are currently 7,982 Air T shares held short by investors – that's known as Air T's "short interest". This figure is 504.2% up from 1,321 last month.

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

Air T's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Air T's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Air T shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Air T shares traded daily (recently around 5251.3157894737). Air T's SIR currently stands at 1.52. In other words for every 100,000 Air T shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1520 shares are currently held short.

However Air T's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Air T shares, or, against the total number of tradable Air T shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Air T's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Air T shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0067% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Air T shares, roughly 7 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 Air T.

Have Air T's shares ever split?

However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Air T shares which in turn could have impacted Air T's share price.

Air T share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Air T's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.06 up to $21.8929. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

This would suggest that Air T's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
