Shorting Nutanix shares

There are currently 7.0 million Nutanix shares held short by investors – that's known as Nutanix's "short interest". This figure is 16.3% down from 8.4 million last month.

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

Nutanix's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Nutanix's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Nutanix shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Nutanix shares traded daily (recently around 3.3 million). Nutanix's SIR currently stands at 2.12. In other words for every 100,000 Nutanix shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2120 shares are currently held short.

However Nutanix's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Nutanix shares, or, against the total number of tradable Nutanix shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Nutanix's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Nutanix shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0427% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Nutanix shares, roughly 43 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 Nutanix.
