Shorting argenx shares

There are currently 1.1 million argenx shares held short by investors – that's known as argenx's "short interest". This figure is 2.4% down from 1.2 million last month.

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

argenx's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

argenx's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of argenx shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of argenx shares traded daily (recently around 161007.90960452). argenx's SIR currently stands at 7.08. In other words for every 100,000 argenx shares traded daily on the market, roughly 7080 shares are currently held short.

However argenx's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of argenx shares, or, against the total number of tradable argenx shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case argenx's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 argenx shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable argenx shares, roughly 0 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 argenx.
