J-and-J Snack Foods's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

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 69974.31402439).

In this case J-and-J Snack Foods's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 J-and-J Snack Foods shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0799% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable J-and-J Snack Foods shares, roughly 80 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against J-and-J Snack Foods.
