There are currently 17.4 million Apache Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Apache Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 4.5% up from 16.6 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Apache Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Apache Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Apache Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Apache Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 11.3 million). Apache Corporation's SIR currently stands at 1.54. In other words for every 100,000 Apache Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1540 shares are currently held short.
However Apache Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Apache Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Apache Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Apache Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Apache Corporation shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0627% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Apache Corporation shares, roughly 63 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 Apache Corporation.

We're not expecting Apache Corporation to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Apache Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 15 January 2004. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Apache Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Apache Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Apache Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Apache Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.772 up to $33.2646. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
