Shorting BioAtla shares

There are currently 2.1 million BioAtla shares held short by investors – that's known as BioAtla's "short interest". This figure is 54.1% up from 1.4 million last month.

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

BioAtla's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

BioAtla's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of BioAtla shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of BioAtla shares traded daily (recently around 395158.06451613). BioAtla's SIR currently stands at 5.27. In other words for every 100,000 BioAtla shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5270 shares are currently held short.

To gain some more context, you can compare BioAtla's short interest ratio against those of similar companies.

However BioAtla's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of BioAtla shares, or, against the total number of tradable BioAtla shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case BioAtla's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 BioAtla shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0685% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable BioAtla shares, roughly 69 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 BioAtla.
