Shorting Caleres shares

There are currently 2.7 million Caleres shares held short by investors – that's known as Caleres's "short interest". This figure is 5.1% up from 2.6 million last month.

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

Caleres's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Caleres's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Caleres shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Caleres shares traded daily (recently around 670573). Caleres's SIR currently stands at 4. In other words for every 100,000 Caleres shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4000 shares are currently held short.

However Caleres's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Caleres shares, or, against the total number of tradable Caleres shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Caleres's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Caleres shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0733% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Caleres shares, roughly 73 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 Caleres.

Caleres share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 9.69% of net profits

Recently Caleres has paid out, on average, around 9.69% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.26% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Caleres shareholders could enjoy a 1.26% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Caleres's case, that would currently equate to about $0.28 per share.

While Caleres's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Caleres is investing more in its future growth.

Caleres's most recent dividend payout was on 30 September 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Caleres's shares ever split?

Caleres's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 2 April 2007. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Caleres shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Caleres shares which in turn could have impacted Caleres's share price.

Caleres share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Caleres's shares have ranged in value from as little as $7.4598 up to $29.2674. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
