Shorting Five Below shares

There are currently 3.5 million Five Below shares held short by investors – that's known as Five Below's "short interest". This figure is 12.6% down from 4.0 million last month.

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

Five Below's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Five Below's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Five Below shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Five Below shares traded daily (recently around 857306.55339806). Five Below's SIR currently stands at 4.12. In other words for every 100,000 Five Below shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4120 shares are currently held short.

However Five Below's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Five Below shares, or, against the total number of tradable Five Below shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Five Below's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Five Below shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0646% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Five Below shares, roughly 65 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 Five Below.
