Shorting Nautilus shares

There are currently 5.2 million Nautilus shares held short by investors – that's known as Nautilus's "short interest". This figure is 29.5% up from 4.0 million last month.

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

Nautilus's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Nautilus's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Nautilus shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Nautilus shares traded daily (recently around 3.3 million). Nautilus's SIR currently stands at 1.56. In other words for every 100,000 Nautilus shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1560 shares are currently held short.

However Nautilus's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Nautilus shares, or, against the total number of tradable Nautilus shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Nautilus's short interest could be expressed as 0.17% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Nautilus shares in existence, roughly 170 shares are currently held short) or 0.1761% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Nautilus shares, roughly 176 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 Nautilus.

Have Nautilus's shares ever split?

Nautilus's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 14 August 2001. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Nautilus shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Nautilus shares which in turn could have impacted Nautilus's share price.

Nautilus share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Nautilus's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.2 up to $27.22. 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 (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Nautilus's is 2.1031. This would suggest that Nautilus's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
