However PHX Minerals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of PHX Minerals shares, or, against the total number of tradable PHX Minerals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float").

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for PHX Minerals shares which in turn could have impacted PHX Minerals's share price.
