Shorting DAVIDsTEA shares

There are currently 98,987 DAVIDsTEA shares held short by investors – that's known as DAVIDsTEA's "short interest". This figure is 16.5% down from 118,591 last month.

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

DAVIDsTEA's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

DAVIDsTEA's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of DAVIDsTEA shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of DAVIDsTEA shares traded daily (recently around 494935). DAVIDsTEA's SIR currently stands at 0.2. In other words for every 100,000 DAVIDsTEA shares traded daily on the market, roughly 200 shares are currently held short.

However DAVIDsTEA's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of DAVIDsTEA shares, or, against the total number of tradable DAVIDsTEA shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case DAVIDsTEA's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 DAVIDsTEA shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0069% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable DAVIDsTEA shares, roughly 7 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 DAVIDsTEA.
