Shorting CURO Group shares

There are currently 1.0 million CURO Group shares held short by investors – that's known as CURO Group's "short interest". This figure is 44.8% up from 691,470 last month.

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

CURO Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

CURO Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of CURO Group shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of CURO Group shares traded daily (recently around 541121.62162162). CURO Group's SIR currently stands at 1.85. In other words for every 100,000 CURO Group shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1850 shares are currently held short.

However CURO Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of CURO Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable CURO Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case CURO Group's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 CURO Group shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0488% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable CURO Group shares, roughly 49 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 CURO Group.
