The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Malibu Boats's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Malibu Boats's SIR currently stands at 4.98. In other words for every 100,000 Malibu Boats shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4980 shares are currently held short.

However Malibu Boats's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Malibu Boats shares, or, against the total number of tradable Malibu Boats shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Malibu Boats's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Malibu Boats shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0667% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Malibu Boats shares, roughly 67 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 Malibu Boats.
