There are currently 662,175 Applied DNA Sciences shares held short by investors – that's known as Applied DNA Sciences's "short interest". This figure is 47.3% up from 449,626 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Applied DNA Sciences shares can be evaluated.
Applied DNA Sciences's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Applied DNA Sciences shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Applied DNA Sciences shares traded daily (recently around 365842.54143646). Applied DNA Sciences's SIR currently stands at 1.81. In other words for every 100,000 Applied DNA Sciences shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1810 shares are currently held short.
However Applied DNA Sciences's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Applied DNA Sciences shares, or, against the total number of tradable Applied DNA Sciences shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Applied DNA Sciences's short interest could be expressed as 0.12% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Applied DNA Sciences shares in existence, roughly 120 shares are currently held short) or 0.1207% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Applied DNA Sciences shares, roughly 121 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 Applied DNA Sciences.

We're not expecting Applied DNA Sciences to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Applied DNA Sciences's shares were split on a 1:40 basis on 1 November 2019. So if you had owned 40 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Applied DNA Sciences shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 3900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Applied DNA Sciences shares which in turn could have impacted Applied DNA Sciences's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Applied DNA Sciences's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.52 up to $13.08. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Applied DNA Sciences's is 1.4446. This would suggest that Applied DNA Sciences's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
