Shorting Dominos Pizza shares

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Dominos Pizza shares can be evaluated.
Dominos Pizza's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Dominos Pizza's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Dominos Pizza shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Dominos Pizza shares traded daily (recently around 494065.625). Dominos Pizza's SIR currently stands at 2.88. In other words for every 100,000 Dominos Pizza shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2880 shares are currently held short.
However Dominos Pizza's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Dominos Pizza shares, or, against the total number of tradable Dominos Pizza shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Dominos Pizza's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Dominos Pizza shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0472% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Dominos Pizza shares, roughly 47 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 Dominos Pizza.
