HeadHunter Group's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However HeadHunter Group's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of HeadHunter Group shares, or, against the total number of tradable HeadHunter Group shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case HeadHunter Group's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 HeadHunter Group shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0014% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable HeadHunter Group shares, roughly 1 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 HeadHunter Group.
