Shorting Equinor ASA shares

There are currently 5.7 million Equinor ASA shares held short by investors – that's known as Equinor ASA's "short interest". This figure is 9.6% down from 6.3 million last month.

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

Equinor ASA's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Equinor ASA's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Equinor ASA shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Equinor ASA shares traded daily (recently around 2.5 million). Equinor ASA's SIR currently stands at 2.28. In other words for every 100,000 Equinor ASA shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2280 shares are currently held short.

However Equinor ASA's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Equinor ASA shares, or, against the total number of tradable Equinor ASA shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Equinor ASA's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Equinor ASA shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0054% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Equinor ASA shares, roughly 5 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 Equinor ASA.

Equinor ASA share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 62.33% of net profits

Recently Equinor ASA has paid out, on average, around 62.33% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.22% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Equinor ASA shareholders could enjoy a 2.22% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Equinor ASA's case, that would currently equate to about $0.56 per share.

Equinor ASA's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Equinor ASA's most recent dividend payout was on 26 August 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 August 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
