NeoPhotonics Corporation's SIR currently stands at 1.78. In other words for every 100,000 NeoPhotonics Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1780 shares are currently held short.

However NeoPhotonics Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of NeoPhotonics Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable NeoPhotonics Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case NeoPhotonics Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 NeoPhotonics Corporation shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0466% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable NeoPhotonics Corporation shares, roughly 47 shares are currently held short).
