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

Kaixin Auto's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Kaixin Auto's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Kaixin Auto shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Kaixin Auto shares traded daily (recently around 2.5 million). Kaixin Auto's SIR currently stands at 0.36. In other words for every 100,000 Kaixin Auto shares traded daily on the market, roughly 360 shares are currently held short.

However Kaixin Auto's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Kaixin Auto shares, or, against the total number of tradable Kaixin Auto shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Kaixin Auto's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Kaixin Auto shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0547% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Kaixin Auto shares, roughly 55 shares are currently held short).
