Shorting Masco Corporation shares

There are currently 8.4 million Masco Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Masco Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 10.3% up from 7.6 million last month.

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

Masco Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Masco Corporation's SIR currently stands at 5.07. In other words for every 100,000 Masco Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5070 shares are currently held short.

However Masco Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Masco Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Masco Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Masco Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Masco Corporation shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0341% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Masco Corporation shares, roughly 34 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 Masco Corporation.

However, indirectly, the new 12.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Masco Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Masco Corporation's share price.
