Shorting NovaBay Pharmaceuticals shares

There are currently 967,946 NovaBay Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as NovaBay Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 143.5% up from 397,451 last month.

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

NovaBay Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

NovaBay Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of NovaBay Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of NovaBay Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 1.5 million). NovaBay Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 0.63. In other words for every 100,000 NovaBay Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 630 shares are currently held short.

However NovaBay Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of NovaBay Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable NovaBay Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case NovaBay Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 NovaBay Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.031% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable NovaBay Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 31 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 NovaBay Pharmaceuticals.

However, indirectly, the new 2400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for NovaBay Pharmaceuticals shares which in turn could have impacted NovaBay Pharmaceuticals's share price.
