Shorting Noble Energy shares

There are currently 15.4 million Noble Energy shares held short by investors – that's known as Noble Energy's "short interest". This figure is 67.1% up from 9.2 million last month.

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

Noble Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Noble Energy's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Noble Energy shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Noble Energy shares traded daily (recently around 16.8 million). Noble Energy's SIR currently stands at 0.92. In other words for every 100,000 Noble Energy shares traded daily on the market, roughly 920 shares are currently held short.

However Noble Energy's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Noble Energy shares, or, against the total number of tradable Noble Energy shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Noble Energy's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Noble Energy shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0418% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Noble Energy shares, roughly 42 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 Noble Energy.
