Shorting BioCryst Pharmaceuticals shares

There are currently 23.3 million BioCryst Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as BioCryst Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 12.5% down from 26.7 million last month.

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

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of BioCryst Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of BioCryst Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 7.3 million). BioCryst Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 3.22. In other words for every 100,000 BioCryst Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3220 shares are currently held short.

However BioCryst Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of BioCryst Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable BioCryst Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case BioCryst Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.13% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 BioCryst Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 130 shares are currently held short) or 0.1413% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable BioCryst Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 141 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 BioCryst Pharmaceuticals.
