Shorting GFL Environmental shares

There are currently 9.6 million GFL Environmental shares held short by investors – that's known as GFL Environmental's "short interest". This figure is 2.3% down from 9.8 million last month.

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

GFL Environmental's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

GFL Environmental's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of GFL Environmental shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of GFL Environmental shares traded daily (recently around 889104.91195551). GFL Environmental's SIR currently stands at 10.79. In other words for every 100,000 GFL Environmental shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10790 shares are currently held short.

However GFL Environmental's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of GFL Environmental shares, or, against the total number of tradable GFL Environmental shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case GFL Environmental's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 GFL Environmental shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0816% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable GFL Environmental shares, roughly 82 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 GFL Environmental.
