Shorting Chase Corporation shares

There are currently 131,150 Chase Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Chase Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 1.9% up from 128,764 last month.

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

Chase Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Chase Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Chase Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Chase Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 22266.553480475). Chase Corporation's SIR currently stands at 5.89. In other words for every 100,000 Chase Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5890 shares are currently held short.

However Chase Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Chase Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Chase Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Chase Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Chase Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0178% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Chase Corporation shares, roughly 18 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 Chase Corporation.

Chase Corporation share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 21.27% of net profits

Recently Chase Corporation has paid out, on average, around 21.27% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.75% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Chase Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0.75% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Chase Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.8 per share.
