Shorting CAE shares

There are currently 2.1 million CAE shares held short by investors – that's known as CAE's "short interest". This figure is 38.1% down from 3.4 million last month.

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

CAE's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

CAE's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of CAE shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of CAE shares traded daily (recently around 394073.34593573). CAE's SIR currently stands at 5.29. In other words for every 100,000 CAE shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5290 shares are currently held short.

However CAE's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of CAE shares, or, against the total number of tradable CAE shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case CAE's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 CAE shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable CAE shares, roughly 0 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 CAE.

Have CAE's shares ever split?

CAE's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 5 July 2001. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your CAE shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for CAE shares which in turn could have impacted CAE's share price.

CAE share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, CAE's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.8 up to $28.28. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while CAE's is 2.0866. This would suggest that CAE's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
