Shorting Enanta Pharmaceuticals shares
There are currently 2.2 million Enanta Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as Enanta Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 1.6% up from 2.2 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Enanta Pharmaceuticals shares can be evaluated.
Enanta Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
Enanta Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Enanta Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Enanta Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 165519.38392186). Enanta Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 13.31. In other words for every 100,000 Enanta Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 13310 shares are currently held short.
However Enanta Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Enanta Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Enanta Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Enanta Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.11% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Enanta Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 110 shares are currently held short) or 0.1388% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Enanta Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 139 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 Enanta Pharmaceuticals.
