Shorting Bank of Hawaii Corporation shares

There are currently 2.2 million Bank of Hawaii Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Bank of Hawaii Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 0.1% up from 2.2 million last month.

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

Bank of Hawaii Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Bank of Hawaii Corporation's SIR currently stands at 8.89. In other words for every 100,000 Bank of Hawaii Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 8890 shares are currently held short.

However Bank of Hawaii Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Bank of Hawaii Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Bank of Hawaii Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Bank of Hawaii Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Bank of Hawaii Corporation shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0636% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Bank of Hawaii Corporation shares, roughly 64 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Bank of Hawaii Corporation.
