However Essential Properties Realty Trust's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Essential Properties Realty Trust shares, or, against the total number of tradable Essential Properties Realty Trust shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Essential Properties Realty Trust's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Essential Properties Realty Trust shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0473% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Essential Properties Realty Trust shares, roughly 47 shares are currently held short).
