There are currently 2.9 million Kontoor Brands shares held short by investors – that's known as Kontoor Brands's "short interest". This figure is 25.4% down from 3.9 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Kontoor Brands shares can be evaluated.

Kontoor Brands's SIR currently stands at 5.51. In other words for every 100,000 Kontoor Brands shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5510 shares are currently held short.
However Kontoor Brands's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Kontoor Brands shares, or, against the total number of tradable Kontoor Brands shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Kontoor Brands's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Kontoor Brands shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.1306% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Kontoor Brands shares, roughly 131 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Kontoor Brands.
