Shorting Alteryx shares

There are currently 5.3 million Alteryx shares held short by investors – that's known as Alteryx's "short interest". This figure is 24% down from 7.0 million last month.

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

Alteryx's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Alteryx's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Alteryx shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Alteryx shares traded daily (recently around 1.5 million). Alteryx's SIR currently stands at 3.63. In other words for every 100,000 Alteryx shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3630 shares are currently held short.

However Alteryx's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Alteryx shares, or, against the total number of tradable Alteryx shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Alteryx's short interest could be expressed as 0.08% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Alteryx shares in existence, roughly 80 shares are currently held short) or 0.1201% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Alteryx shares, roughly 120 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 Alteryx.
