Shorting LendingTree shares

There are currently 1.8 million LendingTree shares held short by investors – that's known as LendingTree's "short interest". This figure is 0.7% down from 1.9 million last month.

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

LendingTree's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

LendingTree's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of LendingTree shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of LendingTree shares traded daily (recently around 187186.6598778). LendingTree's SIR currently stands at 9.82. In other words for every 100,000 LendingTree shares traded daily on the market, roughly 9820 shares are currently held short.

However LendingTree's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of LendingTree shares, or, against the total number of tradable LendingTree shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case LendingTree's short interest could be expressed as 0.14% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 LendingTree shares in existence, roughly 140 shares are currently held short) or 0.1601% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable LendingTree shares, roughly 160 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 LendingTree.
