TTM: trailing 12 months
There are currently 8.0 million Palatin Technologies shares held short by investors – that's known as Palatin Technologies's "short interest". This figure is 4.8% up from 7.6 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Palatin Technologies shares can be evaluated.
Palatin Technologies's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Palatin Technologies shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Palatin Technologies shares traded daily (recently around 7.9 million). Palatin Technologies's SIR currently stands at 1.01. In other words for every 100,000 Palatin Technologies shares traded daily on the market, roughly 1010 shares are currently held short.
However Palatin Technologies's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Palatin Technologies shares, or, against the total number of tradable Palatin Technologies shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Palatin Technologies's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Palatin Technologies shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0354% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Palatin Technologies shares, roughly 35 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 Palatin Technologies.

We're not expecting Palatin Technologies to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Palatin Technologies's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 27 September 2010. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Palatin Technologies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Palatin Technologies shares which in turn could have impacted Palatin Technologies's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Palatin Technologies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.36 up to $1.3. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE MKT average) beta is 1, while Palatin Technologies's is 1.5411. This would suggest that Palatin Technologies's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
