There are currently 11.0 million Ballard Power Systems shares held short by investors – that's known as Ballard Power Systems's "short interest". This figure is 19.2% down from 13.7 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Ballard Power Systems shares can be evaluated.
Ballard Power Systems's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Ballard Power Systems shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Ballard Power Systems shares traded daily (recently around 7.8 million). Ballard Power Systems's SIR currently stands at 1.42. In other words for every 100,000 Ballard Power Systems shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1420 shares are currently held short.
However Ballard Power Systems's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Ballard Power Systems shares, or, against the total number of tradable Ballard Power Systems shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Ballard Power Systems's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Ballard Power Systems shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Ballard Power Systems 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 Ballard Power Systems.

We're not expecting Ballard Power Systems to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Ballard Power Systems's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 3 June 1998. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ballard Power Systems shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ballard Power Systems shares which in turn could have impacted Ballard Power Systems's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Ballard Power Systems's shares have ranged in value from as little as $6.95 up to $42.28. 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 Ballard Power Systems's is 1.9408. This would suggest that Ballard Power Systems's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
