Shorting Inspire Medical Systems shares

There are currently 1.7 million Inspire Medical Systems shares held short by investors – that's known as Inspire Medical Systems's "short interest". This figure is 13.8% up from 1.5 million last month.

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

Inspire Medical Systems's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Inspire Medical Systems's SIR currently stands at 4.42. In other words for every 100,000 Inspire Medical Systems shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4420 shares are currently held short.

However Inspire Medical Systems's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Inspire Medical Systems shares, or, against the total number of tradable Inspire Medical Systems shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Inspire Medical Systems's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Inspire Medical Systems shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0669% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Inspire Medical Systems shares, roughly 67 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 Inspire Medical Systems.
