There are currently 6.8 million Algonquin Power-and-Utilities shares held short by investors – that's known as Algonquin Power-and-Utilities's "short interest". This figure is 7.2% down from 7.4 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Algonquin Power-and-Utilities shares can be evaluated.
Algonquin Power-and-Utilities's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Algonquin Power-and-Utilities shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Algonquin Power-and-Utilities shares traded daily (recently around 618555.29411765). Algonquin Power-and-Utilities's SIR currently stands at 11.05. In other words for every 100,000 Algonquin Power-and-Utilities shares traded daily on the market, roughly 11050 shares are currently held short.
However Algonquin Power-and-Utilities's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Algonquin Power-and-Utilities shares, or, against the total number of tradable Algonquin Power-and-Utilities shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Algonquin Power-and-Utilities's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Algonquin Power-and-Utilities shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Algonquin Power-and-Utilities shares, roughly 0 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 Algonquin Power-and-Utilities.
