Shorting Origin Bancorp shares

There are currently 176,056 Origin Bancorp shares held short by investors – that's known as Origin Bancorp's "short interest". This figure is 2.5% up from 171,756 last month.

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

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

Origin Bancorp's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Origin Bancorp shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Origin Bancorp shares traded daily (recently around 57534.640522876). Origin Bancorp's SIR currently stands at 3.06. In other words for every 100,000 Origin Bancorp shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3060 shares are currently held short.

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