Shorting Allied Healthcare Products shares
There are currently 411,099 Allied Healthcare Products shares held short by investors – that's known as Allied Healthcare Products's "short interest". This figure is 5% down from 432,651 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Allied Healthcare Products shares can be evaluated.
Allied Healthcare Products's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Allied Healthcare Products's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Allied Healthcare Products shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Allied Healthcare Products shares traded daily (recently around 604557.35294118). Allied Healthcare Products's SIR currently stands at 0.68. In other words for every 100,000 Allied Healthcare Products shares traded daily on the market, roughly 680 shares are currently held short.
However Allied Healthcare Products's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Allied Healthcare Products shares, or, against the total number of tradable Allied Healthcare Products shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Allied Healthcare Products's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Allied Healthcare Products shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1333% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Allied Healthcare Products shares, roughly 133 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 Allied Healthcare Products.

We're not expecting Allied Healthcare Products to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Allied Healthcare Products's shares ever split?
Allied Healthcare Products's shares were split on a 1:2 basis on 7 December 2016. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Allied Healthcare Products shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 100% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Allied Healthcare Products shares which in turn could have impacted Allied Healthcare Products's share price.
Allied Healthcare Products share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Allied Healthcare Products's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.08 up to $24.49. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Allied Healthcare Products's is -4.9895. This would suggest that Allied Healthcare Products's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Allied Healthcare Products has bucked the trend.
