Shorting Coty shares

There are currently 14.8 million Coty shares held short by investors – that's known as Coty's "short interest". This figure is 5.4% down from 15.7 million last month.

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

Coty's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Coty's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Coty shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Coty shares traded daily (recently around 7.2 million). Coty's SIR currently stands at 2.07. In other words for every 100,000 Coty shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2070 shares are currently held short.

However Coty's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Coty shares, or, against the total number of tradable Coty shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Coty's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Coty shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0318% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Coty shares, roughly 32 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 Coty.
