Shorting Apollo Endosurgery shares

There are currently 309,181 Apollo Endosurgery shares held short by investors – that's known as Apollo Endosurgery's "short interest". This figure is 2% down from 315,624 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Apollo Endosurgery shares can be evaluated.

Apollo Endosurgery's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Apollo Endosurgery's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Apollo Endosurgery shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Apollo Endosurgery shares traded daily (recently around 210327.21088435). Apollo Endosurgery's SIR currently stands at 1.47. In other words for every 100,000 Apollo Endosurgery shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1470 shares are currently held short.

However Apollo Endosurgery's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Apollo Endosurgery shares, or, against the total number of tradable Apollo Endosurgery shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Apollo Endosurgery's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Apollo Endosurgery shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0185% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Apollo Endosurgery shares, roughly 19 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 Apollo Endosurgery.
