Shorting Ardelyx shares

There are currently 9.1 million Ardelyx shares held short by investors – that's known as Ardelyx's "short interest". This figure is 21% up from 7.6 million last month.

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

Ardelyx's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Ardelyx's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Ardelyx shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Ardelyx shares traded daily (recently around 1.7 million). Ardelyx's SIR currently stands at 5.44. In other words for every 100,000 Ardelyx shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5440 shares are currently held short.

However Ardelyx's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Ardelyx shares, or, against the total number of tradable Ardelyx shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Ardelyx's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Ardelyx shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.1266% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Ardelyx shares, roughly 127 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Ardelyx.

Ardelyx share price volatility
