TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 1.1 million J-and-J Snack Foods shares held short by investors – that's known as J-and-J Snack Foods's "short interest". This figure is 10.6% up from 966,175 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting J-and-J Snack Foods shares can be evaluated.
J-and-J Snack Foods's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of J-and-J Snack Foods shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of J-and-J Snack Foods shares traded daily (recently around 144615.1556157). J-and-J Snack Foods's SIR currently stands at 7.39. In other words for every 100,000 J-and-J Snack Foods shares traded daily on the market, roughly 7390 shares are currently held short.
However J-and-J Snack Foods's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of J-and-J Snack Foods shares, or, against the total number of tradable J-and-J Snack Foods shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case J-and-J Snack Foods's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 J-and-J Snack Foods shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0863% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable J-and-J Snack Foods shares, roughly 86 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 J-and-J Snack Foods.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for J-and-J Snack Foods shares which in turn could have impacted J-and-J Snack Foods's share price.
