Shorting Lubys shares

There are currently 307,212 Lubys shares held short by investors – that's known as Lubys's "short interest". This figure is 22.8% down from 398,039 last month.

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

Lubys's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Lubys's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Lubys shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Lubys shares traded daily (recently around 30751.951951952). Lubys's SIR currently stands at 9.99. In other words for every 100,000 Lubys shares traded daily on the market, roughly 9990 shares are currently held short.

However Lubys's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Lubys shares, or, against the total number of tradable Lubys shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Lubys's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Lubys shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0132% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Lubys shares, roughly 13 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 Lubys.
