Shorting LendingClub Corporation shares

There are currently 4.8 million LendingClub Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as LendingClub Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 7% up from 4.5 million last month.

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

LendingClub Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

LendingClub Corporation's SIR currently stands at 2.38. In other words for every 100,000 LendingClub Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2380 shares are currently held short.

However LendingClub Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of LendingClub Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable LendingClub Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case LendingClub Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 LendingClub Corporation shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.0703% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable LendingClub Corporation shares, roughly 70 shares are currently held short).
