Shorting Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares

There are currently 3.7 million Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as Avadel Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 1.3% up from 3.6 million last month.

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

Avadel Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Avadel Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 229220.41070317). Avadel Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 16.07. In other words for every 100,000 Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 16070 shares are currently held short.

However Avadel Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Avadel Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0823% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Avadel Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 82 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Avadel Pharmaceuticals.
