Shorting Orange S-A shares

There are currently 1.1 million Orange S-A shares held short by investors – that's known as Orange S-A's "short interest". This figure is 16.2% down from 1.3 million last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Orange S-A shares can be evaluated.

Orange S-A's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Orange S-A's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Orange S-A shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Orange S-A shares traded daily (recently around 621238.28571429). Orange S-A's SIR currently stands at 1.75. In other words for every 100,000 Orange S-A shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1750 shares are currently held short.

However Orange S-A's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Orange S-A shares, or, against the total number of tradable Orange S-A shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Orange S-A's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Orange S-A shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Orange S-A shares, roughly 0 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 Orange S-A.
