Shorting iFresh shares

There are currently 521,128 iFresh shares held short by investors – that's known as iFresh's "short interest". This figure is 2.5% down from 534,573 last month.

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

iFresh's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

iFresh's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of iFresh shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of iFresh shares traded daily (recently around 112798.26839827). iFresh's SIR currently stands at 4.62. In other words for every 100,000 iFresh shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4620 shares are currently held short.

However iFresh's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of iFresh shares, or, against the total number of tradable iFresh shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case iFresh's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 iFresh shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0254% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable iFresh shares, roughly 25 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 iFresh.
