There are currently 31.8 million Bed Bath-and-Beyond shares held short by investors – that's known as Bed Bath-and-Beyond's "short interest". This figure is 57.6% down from 74.9 million last month.

However Bed Bath-and-Beyond's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Bed Bath-and-Beyond shares, or, against the total number of tradable Bed Bath-and-Beyond shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Bed Bath-and-Beyond's short interest could be expressed as 0.26% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Bed Bath-and-Beyond shares in existence, roughly 260 shares are currently held short) or 0.3496% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Bed Bath-and-Beyond shares, roughly 350 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 Bed Bath-and-Beyond.

We're not expecting Bed Bath-and-Beyond to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Bed Bath-and-Beyond's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 14 August 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Bed Bath-and-Beyond shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Bed Bath-and-Beyond shares which in turn could have impacted Bed Bath-and-Beyond's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Bed Bath-and-Beyond's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.43 up to $53.9. 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 Bed Bath-and-Beyond's is 1.9424.
