Shorting BlackLine shares

There are currently 4.4 million BlackLine shares held short by investors – that's known as BlackLine's "short interest". This figure is 6.8% down from 4.7 million last month.

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

BlackLine's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

BlackLine's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of BlackLine shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of BlackLine shares traded daily (recently around 957173.84615385). BlackLine's SIR currently stands at 4.55. In other words for every 100,000 BlackLine shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4550 shares are currently held short.

However BlackLine's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of BlackLine shares, or, against the total number of tradable BlackLine shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case BlackLine's short interest could be expressed as 0.08% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 BlackLine shares in existence, roughly 80 shares are currently held short) or 0.0819% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable BlackLine shares, roughly 82 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 BlackLine.
