Shorting Cardlytics shares

There are currently 4.6 million Cardlytics shares held short by investors – that's known as Cardlytics's "short interest". This figure is 13.9% up from 4.1 million last month.

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

Cardlytics's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Cardlytics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cardlytics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cardlytics shares traded daily (recently around 608315.52631579). Cardlytics's SIR currently stands at 7.6. In other words for every 100,000 Cardlytics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 7600 shares are currently held short.

However Cardlytics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cardlytics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cardlytics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cardlytics's short interest could be expressed as 0.17% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cardlytics shares in existence, roughly 170 shares are currently held short) or 0.2002% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cardlytics shares, roughly 200 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 Cardlytics.
