Shorting J-Jill shares
There are currently 1.9 million J-Jill shares held short by investors – that's known as J-Jill's "short interest". This figure is 22.3% down from 2.5 million 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 6.9 million). J-Jill's SIR currently stands at 0.28. In other words for every 100,000 J-Jill shares traded daily on the market, roughly 280 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 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 J-Jill shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.1096% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable J-Jill shares, roughly 110 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 1191:1000 basis on 18 March 2019. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1191 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your J-Jill shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 16% lower 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 $0.31 up to $2.12. 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 1.5919. 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).
