Shorting B Communications shares

There are currently 21,334 B Communications shares held short by investors – that's known as B Communications's "short interest". This figure is 185.2% up from 7,481 last month.

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

B Communications's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

B Communications's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of B Communications shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of B Communications shares traded daily (recently around 27706.493506494). B Communications's SIR currently stands at 0.77. In other words for every 100,000 B Communications shares traded daily on the market, roughly 770 shares are currently held short.

However B Communications's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of B Communications shares, or, against the total number of tradable B Communications shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case B Communications's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 B Communications shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0001% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable B Communications shares, roughly 0 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 B Communications.
