There are currently 23,927 Mexco Energy Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Mexco Energy Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 31.8% up from 18,154 last month.

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

Mexco Energy Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Mexco Energy Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Mexco Energy Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Mexco Energy Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 239270). Mexco Energy Corporation's SIR currently stands at 0.1. In other words for every 100,000 Mexco Energy Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 100 shares are currently held short.

However Mexco Energy Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Mexco Energy Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Mexco Energy Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Mexco Energy Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Mexco Energy Corporation shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0238% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Mexco Energy Corporation shares, roughly 24 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 Mexco Energy Corporation.
