Shorting HUYA shares

There are currently 23.5 million HUYA shares held short by investors – that's known as HUYA's "short interest". This figure is 12.4% down from 26.8 million last month.

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

HUYA's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

HUYA's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of HUYA shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of HUYA shares traded daily (recently around 3.5 million). HUYA's SIR currently stands at 6.74. In other words for every 100,000 HUYA shares traded daily on the market, roughly 6740 shares are currently held short.

However HUYA's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of HUYA shares, or, against the total number of tradable HUYA shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case HUYA's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 HUYA shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable HUYA shares, roughly 0 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 HUYA.
