There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Owens-and-Minor shares can be evaluated.

Owens-and-Minor's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Owens-and-Minor's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Owens-and-Minor shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Owens-and-Minor shares traded daily (recently around 1.2 million). Owens-and-Minor's SIR currently stands at 4.35. In other words for every 100,000 Owens-and-Minor shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4350 shares are currently held short.

However Owens-and-Minor's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Owens-and-Minor shares, or, against the total number of tradable Owens-and-Minor shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Owens-and-Minor's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Owens-and-Minor shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.0732% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Owens-and-Minor shares, roughly 73 shares are currently held short).
