Shorting GeoPark shares

There are currently 117,099 GeoPark shares held short by investors – that's known as GeoPark's "short interest". This figure is 40.5% up from 83,359 last month.

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

GeoPark's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

GeoPark's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of GeoPark shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of GeoPark shares traded daily (recently around 172204.41176471). GeoPark's SIR currently stands at 0.68. In other words for every 100,000 GeoPark shares traded daily on the market, roughly 680 shares are currently held short.

However GeoPark's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of GeoPark shares, or, against the total number of tradable GeoPark shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case GeoPark's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 GeoPark shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0029% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable GeoPark shares, roughly 3 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 GeoPark.
