Shorting Herbalife Nutrition shares

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

Herbalife Nutrition's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

However Herbalife Nutrition's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Herbalife Nutrition shares, or, against the total number of tradable Herbalife Nutrition shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Herbalife Nutrition's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Herbalife Nutrition shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0702% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Herbalife Nutrition shares, roughly 70 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Herbalife Nutrition.
