Shorting Highway shares

There are currently 2,676 Highway shares held short by investors – that's known as Highway's "short interest". This figure is 59.4% down from 6,599 last month.

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

Highway's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Highway's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Highway shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Highway shares traded daily (recently around 89200). Highway's SIR currently stands at 0.03. In other words for every 100,000 Highway shares traded daily on the market, roughly 30 shares are currently held short.

However Highway's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Highway shares, or, against the total number of tradable Highway shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Highway's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Highway shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0009% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Highway 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 Highway.
