Shorting Globalstar shares

There are currently 26.3 million Globalstar shares held short by investors – that's known as Globalstar's "short interest". This figure is 1.8% up from 25.8 million last month.

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

Globalstar's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Globalstar's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Globalstar shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Globalstar shares traded daily (recently around 1.5 million). Globalstar's SIR currently stands at 17.37. In other words for every 100,000 Globalstar shares traded daily on the market, roughly 17370 shares are currently held short.

However Globalstar's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Globalstar shares, or, against the total number of tradable Globalstar shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Globalstar's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Globalstar shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.047% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Globalstar shares, roughly 47 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 Globalstar.
