Shorting Cloudera shares

There are currently 19.6 million Cloudera shares held short by investors – that's known as Cloudera's "short interest". This figure is 3.1% down from 20.3 million last month.

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

Cloudera's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Cloudera's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cloudera shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cloudera shares traded daily (recently around 7.0 million). Cloudera's SIR currently stands at 2.8. In other words for every 100,000 Cloudera shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2800 shares are currently held short.

However Cloudera's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cloudera shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cloudera shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cloudera's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cloudera shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0906% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cloudera shares, roughly 91 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 Cloudera.

Cloudera share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Cloudera's shares have ranged in value from as little as $5.4 up to $14.198. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Cloudera's is 1.0846. This would suggest that Cloudera's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
