Alpha and Omega Semiconductor's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Alpha and Omega Semiconductor's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Alpha and Omega Semiconductor shares, or, against the total number of tradable Alpha and Omega Semiconductor shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Alpha and Omega Semiconductor's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Alpha and Omega Semiconductor shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0229% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Alpha and Omega Semiconductor shares, roughly 23 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 Alpha and Omega Semiconductor.
