BRT Apartments's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

In this case BRT Apartments's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 BRT Apartments shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0121% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable BRT Apartments shares, roughly 12 shares are currently held short).

BRT Apartments share dividends

Recently BRT Apartments has paid out, on average, around 125.71% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.54% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), BRT Apartments shareholders could enjoy a 5.54% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BRT Apartments's case, that would currently equate to about $0.88 per share.

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your BRT Apartments shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 200% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for BRT Apartments shares which in turn could have impacted BRT Apartments's share price.
BRT Apartments share price volatility
