Shorting American National Group shares
There are currently 52,690 American National Group shares held short by investors – that's known as American National Group's "short interest". This figure is 14.2% down from 61,394 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting American National Group shares can be evaluated.
American National Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
American National Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of American National Group shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of American National Group shares traded daily (recently around 25702.43902439). American National Group's SIR currently stands at 2.05. In other words for every 100,000 American National Group shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2050 shares are currently held short.
However American National Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of American National Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable American National Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case American National Group's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 American National Group shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0085% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable American National Group shares, roughly 9 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 National Group.
