Shorting Blucora shares

There are currently 1.1 million Blucora shares held short by investors – that's known as Blucora's "short interest". This figure is 3.4% up from 1.1 million last month.

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

Blucora's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Blucora's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Blucora shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Blucora shares traded daily (recently around 193352.30769231). Blucora's SIR currently stands at 5.85. In other words for every 100,000 Blucora shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5850 shares are currently held short.

However Blucora's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Blucora shares, or, against the total number of tradable Blucora shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Blucora's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Blucora shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0237% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Blucora shares, roughly 24 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 Blucora.

Have Blucora's shares ever split?

Blucora's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 12 September 2002. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Blucora shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Blucora shares which in turn could have impacted Blucora's share price.

Blucora share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Blucora's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.86 up to $18.83. 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 Blucora's is 1.6434. This would suggest that Blucora's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
