Shorting Exicure shares

There are currently 1.1 million Exicure shares held short by investors – that's known as Exicure's "short interest". This figure is 58.6% down from 2.6 million last month.

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

Exicure's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Exicure's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Exicure shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Exicure shares traded daily (recently around 649701.82926829). Exicure's SIR currently stands at 1.64. In other words for every 100,000 Exicure shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1640 shares are currently held short.

However Exicure's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Exicure shares, or, against the total number of tradable Exicure shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Exicure's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Exicure shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0165% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Exicure shares, roughly 17 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 Exicure.

Exicure share price volatility
