Shorting Cocrystal Pharma shares

There are currently 851,508 Cocrystal Pharma shares held short by investors – that's known as Cocrystal Pharma's "short interest". This figure is 53.3% down from 1.8 million last month.

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

Cocrystal Pharma's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Cocrystal Pharma's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Cocrystal Pharma shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Cocrystal Pharma shares traded daily (recently around 8.5 million). Cocrystal Pharma's SIR currently stands at 0.1. In other words for every 100,000 Cocrystal Pharma shares traded daily on the market, roughly 100 shares are currently held short.

However Cocrystal Pharma's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Cocrystal Pharma shares, or, against the total number of tradable Cocrystal Pharma shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Cocrystal Pharma's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Cocrystal Pharma shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.016% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Cocrystal Pharma shares, roughly 16 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 Cocrystal Pharma.

Have Cocrystal Pharma's shares ever split?

Cocrystal Pharma's shares were split on a 1:30 basis on 24 January 2018. So if you had owned 30 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Cocrystal Pharma shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 2900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cocrystal Pharma shares which in turn could have impacted Cocrystal Pharma's share price.

Cocrystal Pharma share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Cocrystal Pharma's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.45 up to $2.48. 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 Cocrystal Pharma's is 1.1654. This would suggest that Cocrystal Pharma'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).
