Inter Parfums's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Inter Parfums's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Inter Parfums shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Inter Parfums shares traded daily (recently around 87948.013245033). Inter Parfums's SIR currently stands at 3.02. In other words for every 100,000 Inter Parfums shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3020 shares are currently held short.

However Inter Parfums's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Inter Parfums shares, or, against the total number of tradable Inter Parfums shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Inter Parfums's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Inter Parfums shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.015% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Inter Parfums shares, roughly 15 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 Inter Parfums.

Inter Parfums share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 29.18% of net profits

Recently Inter Parfums has paid out, on average, around 29.18% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.44% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Inter Parfums shareholders could enjoy a 1.44% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Inter Parfums's case, that would currently equate to about $0.5 per share.

While Inter Parfums's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Inter Parfums may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Inter Parfums's most recent dividend payout was on 29 September 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 September 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Inter Parfums shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Inter Parfums shares which in turn could have impacted Inter Parfums's share price.
