Shorting Geospace Technologies Corporation shares

There are currently 139,634 Geospace Technologies Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Geospace Technologies Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 0.2% down from 139,969 last month.

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

Geospace Technologies Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Geospace Technologies Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Geospace Technologies Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Geospace Technologies Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 36649.343832021). Geospace Technologies Corporation's SIR currently stands at 3.81. In other words for every 100,000 Geospace Technologies Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3810 shares are currently held short.

However Geospace Technologies Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Geospace Technologies Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Geospace Technologies Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Geospace Technologies Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Geospace Technologies Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0107% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Geospace Technologies Corporation shares, roughly 11 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 Geospace Technologies Corporation.
