Shorting Origin Agritech shares

There are currently 16,931 Origin Agritech shares held short by investors – that's known as Origin Agritech's "short interest". This figure is 53.3% down from 36,263 last month.

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

Origin Agritech's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Origin Agritech's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Origin Agritech shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Origin Agritech shares traded daily (recently around 105818.75). Origin Agritech's SIR currently stands at 0.16. In other words for every 100,000 Origin Agritech shares traded daily on the market, roughly 160 shares are currently held short.

However Origin Agritech's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Origin Agritech shares, or, against the total number of tradable Origin Agritech shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Origin Agritech's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Origin Agritech shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0092% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Origin Agritech shares, roughly 9 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 Origin Agritech.
