Shorting Magyar Bancorp shares

There are currently 2,579 Magyar Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as Magyar Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 306.1% up from 635 last month.

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

Magyar Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Magyar Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Magyar Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Magyar Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 1983.8461538462). Magyar Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 1.3. In other words for every 100,000 Magyar Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1300 shares are currently held short.

However Magyar Bancorp's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Magyar Bancorp shares, or, against the total number of tradable Magyar Bancorp shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Magyar Bancorp's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Magyar Bancorp shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0011% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Magyar Bancorp shares, roughly 1 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 Magyar Bancorp.
