Shorting Lumos Pharma shares

There are currently 169,480 Lumos Pharma shares held short by investors – that's known as Lumos Pharma's "short interest". This figure is 6.8% down from 181,809 last month.

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

Lumos Pharma's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Lumos Pharma's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Lumos Pharma shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Lumos Pharma shares traded daily (recently around 12210.374639769). Lumos Pharma's SIR currently stands at 13.88. In other words for every 100,000 Lumos Pharma shares traded daily on the market, roughly 13880 shares are currently held short.

However Lumos Pharma's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Lumos Pharma shares, or, against the total number of tradable Lumos Pharma shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Lumos Pharma's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Lumos Pharma shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0356% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Lumos Pharma shares, roughly 36 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Lumos Pharma.
