Shorting Apellis Pharmaceuticals shares
There are currently 7.7 million Apellis Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as Apellis Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 9.2% up from 7.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Apellis Pharmaceuticals shares can be evaluated.
Apellis Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Apellis Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Apellis Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Apellis Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 682199.82253771). Apellis Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 11.27. In other words for every 100,000 Apellis Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 11270 shares are currently held short.
However Apellis Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Apellis Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Apellis Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Apellis Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Apellis Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1422% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Apellis Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 142 shares are currently held short).
A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Apellis Pharmaceuticals.
