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

Orthofix Medical's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Orthofix Medical's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Orthofix Medical shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Orthofix Medical shares traded daily (recently around 99382.598039216).

However Orthofix Medical's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Orthofix Medical shares, or, against the total number of tradable Orthofix Medical shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Orthofix Medical's short interest could be expressed as 0.02% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Orthofix Medical shares in existence, roughly 20 shares are currently held short) or 0.0289% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Orthofix Medical shares, roughly 29 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 Orthofix Medical.
