Shorting J-Jill shares

There are currently 216,149 J-Jill shares held short by investors – that's known as J-Jill's "short interest". This figure is 39% down from 354,587 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting J-Jill shares can be evaluated.

J-Jill's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

J-Jill's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of J-Jill shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of J-Jill shares traded daily (recently around 600413.88888889). J-Jill's SIR currently stands at 0.36. In other words for every 100,000 J-Jill shares traded daily on the market, roughly 360 shares are currently held short.

However J-Jill's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of J-Jill shares, or, against the total number of tradable J-Jill shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case J-Jill's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 J-Jill shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0516% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable J-Jill shares, roughly 52 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 J-Jill.

Have J-Jill's shares ever split?

J-Jill's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 10 November 2020. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your J-Jill shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for J-Jill shares which in turn could have impacted J-Jill's share price.

J-Jill share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, J-Jill's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.575 up to $6.84. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while J-Jill's is 1.5018. This would suggest that J-Jill's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
