Orion Energy Systems's SIR currently stands at 3.24. In other words for every 100,000 Orion Energy Systems shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3240 shares are currently held short.
However Orion Energy Systems's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Orion Energy Systems shares, or, against the total number of tradable Orion Energy Systems shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Orion Energy Systems's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Orion Energy Systems shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0532% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Orion Energy Systems shares, roughly 53 shares are currently held short).
