There are currently 794,294 Chimerix shares held short by investors – that's known as Chimerix's "short interest". This figure is 15% down from 933,964 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Chimerix shares can be evaluated.
Chimerix's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Chimerix shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Chimerix shares traded daily (recently around 1.1 million). Chimerix's SIR currently stands at 0.75. In other words for every 100,000 Chimerix shares traded daily on the market, roughly 750 shares are currently held short.
However Chimerix's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Chimerix shares, or, against the total number of tradable Chimerix shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Chimerix's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Chimerix shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0138% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Chimerix shares, roughly 14 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 Chimerix.

We're not expecting Chimerix to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, Chimerix's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.19 up to $11.57. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Chimerix's is 1.6462. This would suggest that Chimerix's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
