There are currently 3.8 million NanoString Technologies shares held short by investors – that's known as NanoString Technologies's "short interest". This figure is 1.6% up from 3.7 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting NanoString Technologies shares can be evaluated.
NanoString Technologies's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of NanoString Technologies shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of NanoString Technologies shares traded daily (recently around 752101.79282869). NanoString Technologies's SIR currently stands at 5.02. In other words for every 100,000 NanoString Technologies shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5020 shares are currently held short.
However NanoString Technologies's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of NanoString Technologies shares, or, against the total number of tradable NanoString Technologies shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case NanoString Technologies's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 NanoString Technologies shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.1054% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable NanoString Technologies shares, roughly 105 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 NanoString Technologies.

We're not expecting NanoString Technologies to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Over the last 12 months, NanoString Technologies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $13.85 up to $86.42. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while NanoString Technologies's is 1.7465. This would suggest that NanoString Technologies's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
