Shorting Arcus Biosciences shares

There are currently 6.6 million Arcus Biosciences shares held short by investors – that's known as Arcus Biosciences's "short interest". This figure is 5.3% down from 7.0 million last month.

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

Arcus Biosciences's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Arcus Biosciences's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Arcus Biosciences shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Arcus Biosciences shares traded daily (recently around 599883.55916893). Arcus Biosciences's SIR currently stands at 11.07. In other words for every 100,000 Arcus Biosciences shares traded daily on the market, roughly 11070 shares are currently held short.

However Arcus Biosciences's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Arcus Biosciences shares, or, against the total number of tradable Arcus Biosciences shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Arcus Biosciences's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Arcus Biosciences shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1288% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Arcus Biosciences shares, roughly 129 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 Arcus Biosciences.

Arcus Biosciences share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Arcus Biosciences's shares have ranged in value from as little as $7.69 up to $37.41. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Arcus Biosciences's is 1.1854. This would suggest that Arcus Biosciences's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
