Shorting Genocea Biosciences shares

There are currently 1.7 million Genocea Biosciences shares held short by investors – that's known as Genocea Biosciences's "short interest". This figure is 46.1% down from 3.2 million last month.

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

Genocea Biosciences's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Genocea Biosciences's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Genocea Biosciences shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Genocea Biosciences shares traded daily (recently around 512736.07038123). Genocea Biosciences's SIR currently stands at 3.41. In other words for every 100,000 Genocea Biosciences shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3410 shares are currently held short.

However Genocea Biosciences's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Genocea Biosciences shares, or, against the total number of tradable Genocea Biosciences shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Genocea Biosciences's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Genocea Biosciences shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.043% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Genocea Biosciences shares, roughly 43 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 Genocea Biosciences.

However, indirectly, the new 700% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Genocea Biosciences shares which in turn could have impacted Genocea Biosciences's share price.
