Shorting Par Pacific shares

There are currently 2.5 million Par Pacific shares held short by investors – that's known as Par Pacific's "short interest". This figure is 6% up from 2.4 million last month.

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

Par Pacific's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Par Pacific's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Par Pacific shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Par Pacific shares traded daily (recently around 432042.61168385). Par Pacific's SIR currently stands at 5.82. In other words for every 100,000 Par Pacific shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5820 shares are currently held short.

However Par Pacific's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Par Pacific shares, or, against the total number of tradable Par Pacific shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Par Pacific's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Par Pacific shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.0728% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Par Pacific shares, roughly 73 shares are currently held short).

A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Par Pacific.

Have Par Pacific's shares ever split?

This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Par Pacific shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Par Pacific shares which in turn could have impacted Par Pacific's share price.

Par Pacific share price volatility
