Fluor Corporation's PEG ratio

Fluor Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.9049. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.

Shorting Fluor Corporation shares

There are currently 7.8 million Fluor Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Fluor Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 23.6% up from 6.3 million last month.

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

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

Fluor Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Fluor Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Fluor Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 2.9 million). Fluor Corporation's SIR currently stands at 2.7. In other words for every 100,000 Fluor Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2700 shares are currently held short.

However Fluor Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Fluor Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Fluor Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Fluor Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Fluor Corporation shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0624% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Fluor Corporation shares, roughly 62 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 Fluor Corporation.
