In this case Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0474% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure shares, roughly 47 shares are currently held short).
