There are currently 8.8 million DURECT Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as DURECT Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 4.4% down from 9.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting DURECT Corporation shares can be evaluated.
DURECT Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of DURECT Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of DURECT Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 766742.58456201). DURECT Corporation's SIR currently stands at 11.53. In other words for every 100,000 DURECT Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 11530 shares are currently held short.
However DURECT Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of DURECT Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable DURECT Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case DURECT Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 DURECT Corporation shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0499% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable DURECT Corporation shares, roughly 50 shares are currently held short).
A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against DURECT Corporation.

We're not expecting DURECT Corporation to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, DURECT Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.9502 up to $3.949. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while DURECT Corporation's is 1.7575. This would suggest that DURECT Corporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
