Shorting GDS shares

There are currently 10.3 million GDS shares held short by investors – that's known as GDS's "short interest". This figure is 1.4% down from 10.5 million last month.

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

GDS's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

GDS's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of GDS shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of GDS shares traded daily (recently around 772970.00747943). GDS's SIR currently stands at 13.37. In other words for every 100,000 GDS shares traded daily on the market, roughly 13370 shares are currently held short.

However GDS's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of GDS shares, or, against the total number of tradable GDS shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case GDS's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 GDS shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable GDS shares, roughly 0 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against GDS.

GDS share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, GDS's shares have ranged in value from as little as $49.415 up to $116.76. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while GDS's is 1.1294. This would suggest that GDS's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
