ASE Technology Holding CoLtd's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

ASE Technology Holding CoLtd's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of ASE Technology Holding CoLtd shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of ASE Technology Holding CoLtd shares traded daily (recently around 2.6 million). ASE Technology Holding CoLtd's SIR currently stands at 3.21.

However ASE Technology Holding CoLtd's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of ASE Technology Holding CoLtd shares, or, against the total number of tradable ASE Technology Holding CoLtd shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case ASE Technology Holding CoLtd's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 ASE Technology Holding CoLtd shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0076% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable ASE Technology Holding CoLtd shares, roughly 8 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 ASE Technology Holding CoLtd.
