There are currently 8.6 million Cincinnati Bell shares held short by investors – that's known as Cincinnati Bell's "short interest". This figure is 7% up from 8.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Cincinnati Bell shares can be evaluated.
Cincinnati Bell's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cincinnati Bell shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cincinnati Bell shares traded daily (recently around 533459.36724566). Cincinnati Bell's SIR currently stands at 16.12. In other words for every 100,000 Cincinnati Bell shares traded daily on the market, roughly 16120 shares are currently held short.
However Cincinnati Bell's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cincinnati Bell shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cincinnati Bell shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cincinnati Bell's short interest could be expressed as 0.17% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cincinnati Bell shares in existence, roughly 170 shares are currently held short) or 0.203% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cincinnati Bell shares, roughly 203 shares are currently held short).
A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Cincinnati Bell.
