Shorting Loop Industries shares

There are currently 2.3 million Loop Industries shares held short by investors – that's known as Loop Industries's "short interest". This figure is 20.6% up from 1.9 million last month.

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

Loop Industries's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Loop Industries's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Loop Industries shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Loop Industries shares traded daily (recently around 889901.90114068). Loop Industries's SIR currently stands at 2.63. In other words for every 100,000 Loop Industries shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2630 shares are currently held short.

However Loop Industries's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Loop Industries shares, or, against the total number of tradable Loop Industries shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Loop Industries's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Loop Industries shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0847% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Loop Industries shares, roughly 85 shares are currently held short).

Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Loop Industries.
