Shorting Astrotech Corporation shares

There are currently 1.1 million Astrotech Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Astrotech Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 130.7% up from 473,483 last month.

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

Astrotech Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Astrotech Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Astrotech Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Astrotech Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 6.8 million). Astrotech Corporation's SIR currently stands at 0.16. In other words for every 100,000 Astrotech Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 160 shares are currently held short.

However Astrotech Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Astrotech Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Astrotech Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Astrotech Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Astrotech Corporation shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0238% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Astrotech Corporation shares, roughly 24 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 Astrotech Corporation.
