Shorting MaxLinear shares

There are currently 2.2 million MaxLinear shares held short by investors – that's known as MaxLinear's "short interest". This figure is 14.4% down from 2.6 million last month.

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

MaxLinear's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

MaxLinear's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of MaxLinear shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of MaxLinear shares traded daily (recently around 465525.26539278). MaxLinear's SIR currently stands at 4.71. In other words for every 100,000 MaxLinear shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4710 shares are currently held short.

However MaxLinear's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of MaxLinear shares, or, against the total number of tradable MaxLinear shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case MaxLinear's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 MaxLinear shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0382% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable MaxLinear shares, roughly 38 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 MaxLinear.
