Shorting McAfee shares

There are currently 2.5 million McAfee shares held short by investors – that's known as McAfee's "short interest". This figure is 6.2% down from 2.6 million last month.

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

McAfee's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

McAfee's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of McAfee shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of McAfee shares traded daily (recently around 878633.57142857). McAfee's SIR currently stands at 2.8. In other words for every 100,000 McAfee shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2800 shares are currently held short.

To gain some more context, you can compare McAfee's short interest ratio against those of similar companies.

• Microsoft Corporation (MSFT.US): 2.36
• Oracle Corporation (ORCL.US): 2.7

However McAfee's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of McAfee shares, or, against the total number of tradable McAfee shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case McAfee's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 McAfee shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0462% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable McAfee shares, roughly 46 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 McAfee.

McAfee share dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 29.8% of net profits

Recently McAfee has paid out, on average, around 29.8% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.72% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), McAfee shareholders could enjoy a 1.72% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In McAfee's case, that would currently equate to about $0.202 per share.

While McAfee's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that McAfee may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

McAfee's most recent dividend payout was on 8 July 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 23 June 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").

McAfee's dividend payout ratio is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.

• Microsoft Corporation (MSFT.US): 30.85%
• Trend Micro Incorporated (TMICY.US): 1.24%
• Oracle Corporation (ORCL.US): 23.88%
