Shorting EXFO shares

There are currently 10,481 EXFO shares held short by investors – that's known as EXFO's "short interest". This figure is 71.8% down from 37,115 last month.

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

EXFO's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

EXFO's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of EXFO shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of EXFO shares traded daily (recently around 524050). EXFO's SIR currently stands at 0.02. In other words for every 100,000 EXFO shares traded daily on the market, roughly 20 shares are currently held short.

However EXFO's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of EXFO shares, or, against the total number of tradable EXFO shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case EXFO's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 EXFO shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0005% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable EXFO shares, roughly 1 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 EXFO.
