Shorting Stride shares

There are currently 3.7 million Stride shares held short by investors – that's known as Stride's "short interest". This figure is 54.6% up from 2.4 million last month.

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

Stride's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Stride's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Stride shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Stride shares traded daily (recently around 944092.01030928). Stride's SIR currently stands at 3.88. In other words for every 100,000 Stride shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3880 shares are currently held short.

However Stride's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Stride shares, or, against the total number of tradable Stride shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Stride's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Stride shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.0916% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Stride shares, roughly 92 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 Stride.
