Shorting Dana Incorporated shares

There are currently 2.5 million Dana Incorporated shares held short by investors – that's known as Dana Incorporated's "short interest". This figure is 13% down from 2.9 million last month.

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

Dana Incorporated's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Dana Incorporated's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Dana Incorporated shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Dana Incorporated shares traded daily (recently around 1.2 million). Dana Incorporated's SIR currently stands at 2.04. In other words for every 100,000 Dana Incorporated shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2040 shares are currently held short.

However Dana Incorporated's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Dana Incorporated shares, or, against the total number of tradable Dana Incorporated shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Dana Incorporated's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Dana Incorporated shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0199% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Dana Incorporated shares, roughly 20 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 Dana Incorporated.

Dana Incorporated share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 25.64% of net profits

Recently Dana Incorporated has paid out, on average, around 25.64% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.51% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Dana Incorporated shareholders could enjoy a 1.51% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dana Incorporated's case, that would currently equate to about $0.1 per share.

While Dana Incorporated's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Dana Incorporated may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Dana Incorporated's most recent dividend payout was on 25 March 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 March 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Dana Incorporated's shares ever split?

Dana Incorporated's shares were split on a 1:2 basis on 31 May 2007. So if you had owned 2 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 Dana Incorporated shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 100% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Dana Incorporated shares which in turn could have impacted Dana Incorporated's share price.
