Shorting Anika Therapeutics shares
There are currently 1.3 million Anika Therapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as Anika Therapeutics's "short interest". This figure is 3.1% up from 1.3 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Anika Therapeutics shares can be evaluated.
Anika Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Anika Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Anika Therapeutics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Anika Therapeutics shares traded daily (recently around 145231.41304348). Anika Therapeutics's SIR currently stands at 9.2. In other words for every 100,000 Anika Therapeutics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 9200 shares are currently held short.
However Anika Therapeutics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Anika Therapeutics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Anika Therapeutics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Anika Therapeutics's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Anika Therapeutics shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.1105% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Anika Therapeutics shares, roughly 111 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 Anika Therapeutics.
