What’s going on with AMC stock?

Shares of AMC were among the group of so-called meme stocks that skyrocketed in late January as individual investors piled into the stock, forcing hedge funds to scramble to cover their losses on short positions.

Shorting occurs when an investor borrows shares and sells them to others, a position taken when the investor believes the share price is going to decline. The short seller hopes to buy shares back at a lower price to settle the loan, pocketing the difference.

The move in AMC seemed to be driven by the same Reddit chat board that helped drive GameStop and some other heavily shorted stocks higher. All fell back in February but continue to trade heavily.

Since then AMC stock has been volatile, but with a big upswing starting in May. It’s the leading gainer among the group of so-called meme stocks, which are all up substantially so far this year.

Shorting AMC Entertainment shares

There are currently 95.9 million AMC Entertainment shares held short by investors – that's known as AMC Entertainment's "short interest". This figure is 11.8% up from 85.8 million last month.

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

AMC Entertainment's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

AMC Entertainment's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of AMC Entertainment shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of AMC Entertainment shares traded daily (recently around 92.3 million). AMC Entertainment's SIR currently stands at 1.04. In other words for every 100,000 AMC Entertainment shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1040 shares are currently held short.

However AMC Entertainment's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of AMC Entertainment shares, or, against the total number of tradable AMC Entertainment shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case AMC Entertainment's short interest could be expressed as 0.19% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 AMC Entertainment shares in existence, roughly 190 shares are currently held short) or 0.1876% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable AMC Entertainment shares, roughly 188 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 AMC Entertainment.
