Shorting American Assets Trust shares

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

American Assets Trust's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

American Assets Trust's SIR currently stands at 4.4. In other words for every 100,000 American Assets Trust shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4400 shares are currently held short.

However American Assets Trust's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of American Assets Trust shares, or, against the total number of tradable American Assets Trust shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case American Assets Trust's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 American Assets Trust shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0221% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable American Assets Trust shares, roughly 22 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 American Assets Trust.

American Assets Trust share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 63.79% of net profits

Recently American Assets Trust has paid out, on average, around 63.79% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.04% of the current stock value.

In American Assets Trust's case, that would currently equate to about $1.06 per share.

American Assets Trust's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
