Shorting Amarin Corporation shares

There are currently 24.4 million Amarin Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Amarin Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 3% up from 23.7 million last month.

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

Amarin Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Amarin Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Amarin Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Amarin Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 9.2 million). Amarin Corporation's SIR currently stands at 2.64. In other words for every 100,000 Amarin Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2640 shares are currently held short.

However Amarin Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Amarin Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Amarin Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Amarin Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Amarin Corporation shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Amarin Corporation shares, roughly 0 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 Amarin Corporation.
