Shorting Lannett Company shares

There are currently 5.8 million Lannett Company shares held short by investors – that's known as Lannett Company's "short interest". This figure is 34.2% down from 8.8 million last month.

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

Lannett Company's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Lannett Company's SIR currently stands at 2.6. In other words for every 100,000 Lannett Company shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2600 shares are currently held short.

However Lannett Company's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Lannett Company shares, or, against the total number of tradable Lannett Company shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Lannett Company's short interest could be expressed as 0.14% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Lannett Company shares in existence, roughly 140 shares are currently held short) or 0.1718% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Lannett Company shares, roughly 172 shares are currently held short).
