Shorting AVROBIO shares

There are currently 3.2 million AVROBIO shares held short by investors – that's known as AVROBIO's "short interest". This figure is 14.4% up from 2.8 million last month.

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

AVROBIO's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

AVROBIO's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of AVROBIO shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of AVROBIO shares traded daily (recently around 196181.74019608). AVROBIO's SIR currently stands at 16.32. In other words for every 100,000 AVROBIO shares traded daily on the market, roughly 16320 shares are currently held short.

However AVROBIO's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of AVROBIO shares, or, against the total number of tradable AVROBIO shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case AVROBIO's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 AVROBIO shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.1033% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable AVROBIO shares, roughly 103 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 AVROBIO.

AVROBIO share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, AVROBIO's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.76 up to $28.44. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while AVROBIO's is 1.6847. This would suggest that AVROBIO's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
