Shorting American Superconductor Corporation shares

There are currently 2.0 million American Superconductor Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as American Superconductor Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 13.1% up from 1.7 million last month.

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

American Superconductor Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

American Superconductor Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of American Superconductor Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of American Superconductor Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 377965.18375242). American Superconductor Corporation's SIR currently stands at 5.17. In other words for every 100,000 American Superconductor Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5170 shares are currently held short.

However American Superconductor Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of American Superconductor Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable American Superconductor Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case American Superconductor Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 American Superconductor Corporation shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0759% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable American Superconductor Corporation shares, roughly 76 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against American Superconductor Corporation.
