Shorting Independence Realty Trust shares

There are currently 17.8 million Independence Realty Trust shares held short by investors – that's known as Independence Realty Trust's "short interest". This figure is 1.4% down from 18.0 million last month.

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

Independence Realty Trust's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Independence Realty Trust's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Independence Realty Trust shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Independence Realty Trust shares traded daily (recently around 791945.78689255). Independence Realty Trust's SIR currently stands at 22.43. In other words for every 100,000 Independence Realty Trust shares traded daily on the market, roughly 22430 shares are currently held short.

However Independence Realty Trust's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Independence Realty Trust shares, or, against the total number of tradable Independence Realty Trust shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Independence Realty Trust's short interest could be expressed as 0.17% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Independence Realty Trust shares in existence, roughly 170 shares are currently held short) or 0.1709% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Independence Realty Trust shares, roughly 171 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 20% would generally be considered very high, pointing to a pessimistic outlook for the share price, with a discouraging number of investors currently willing to bet against Independence Realty Trust.
