Shorting Catabasis Pharmaceuticals shares

There are currently 469,953 Catabasis Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as Catabasis Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 5.8% up from 444,224 last month.

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

Catabasis Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Catabasis Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Catabasis Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Catabasis Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 2.9 million). Catabasis Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 0.16. In other words for every 100,000 Catabasis Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 160 shares are currently held short.

However Catabasis Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Catabasis Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Catabasis Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Catabasis Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Catabasis Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.1126% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Catabasis Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 113 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 Catabasis Pharmaceuticals.
