There are currently 9.9 million Alcoa Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Alcoa Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 1.7% up from 9.8 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Alcoa Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Alcoa Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Alcoa Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Alcoa Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 5.9 million). Alcoa Corporation's SIR currently stands at 1.67. In other words for every 100,000 Alcoa Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1670 shares are currently held short.
However Alcoa Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Alcoa Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Alcoa Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Alcoa Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Alcoa Corporation shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0598% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Alcoa Corporation shares, roughly 60 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 Alcoa Corporation.

We're not expecting Alcoa Corporation to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Alcoa Corporation's shares were split on a 1000:801 basis on 1 November 2016. So if you had owned 801 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Alcoa Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 19.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Alcoa Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Alcoa Corporation's share price.
