There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Granite Point Mortgage Trust shares can be evaluated.

Granite Point Mortgage Trust's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Granite Point Mortgage Trust's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Granite Point Mortgage Trust shares, or, against the total number of tradable Granite Point Mortgage Trust shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Granite Point Mortgage Trust's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Granite Point Mortgage Trust shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0751% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Granite Point Mortgage Trust shares, roughly 75 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 Granite Point Mortgage Trust.
