There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting EPAM Systems shares can be evaluated.
EPAM Systems's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
EPAM Systems's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of EPAM Systems shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of EPAM Systems shares traded daily (recently around 311000). EPAM Systems's SIR currently stands at 1.83. In other words for every 100,000 EPAM Systems shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1830 shares are currently held short.
However EPAM Systems's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of EPAM Systems shares, or, against the total number of tradable EPAM Systems shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case EPAM Systems's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 EPAM Systems shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0105% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable EPAM Systems shares, roughly 11 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 EPAM Systems.
