Shorting Atlas Air Worldwide shares
There are currently 2.9 million Atlas Air Worldwide shares held short by investors – that's known as Atlas Air Worldwide's "short interest". This figure is 0.9% up from 2.8 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Atlas Air Worldwide shares can be evaluated.
Atlas Air Worldwide's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Atlas Air Worldwide's SIR currently stands at 5.09. In other words for every 100,000 Atlas Air Worldwide shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5090 shares are currently held short.
However Atlas Air Worldwide's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Atlas Air Worldwide shares, or, against the total number of tradable Atlas Air Worldwide shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Atlas Air Worldwide's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Atlas Air Worldwide shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1389% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Atlas Air Worldwide shares, roughly 139 shares are currently held short).
