Shorting Exelon Corporation shares

There are currently 10.1 million Exelon Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Exelon Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 7.7% up from 9.4 million last month.

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

Exelon Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Exelon Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Exelon Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Exelon Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 4.7 million). Exelon Corporation's SIR currently stands at 2.14. In other words for every 100,000 Exelon Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2140 shares are currently held short.

However Exelon Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Exelon Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Exelon Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Exelon Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Exelon Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0104% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Exelon Corporation shares, roughly 10 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 Exelon Corporation.
