Shorting Macys shares

There are currently 41.7 million Macys shares held short by investors – that's known as Macys's "short interest". This figure is 4.2% down from 43.5 million last month.

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

In this case Macys's short interest could be expressed as 0.13% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Macys shares in existence, roughly 130 shares are currently held short) or 0.1781% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Macys shares, roughly 178 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 Macys.
