Shorting Park-Ohio shares

There are currently 132,951 Park-Ohio shares held short by investors – that's known as Park-Ohio's "short interest". This figure is 11.9% down from 150,842 last month.

There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Park-Ohio shares can be evaluated.

Park-Ohio's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Park-Ohio's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Park-Ohio shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Park-Ohio shares traded daily (recently around 30704.618937644). Park-Ohio's SIR currently stands at 4.33. In other words for every 100,000 Park-Ohio shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4330 shares are currently held short.

However Park-Ohio's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Park-Ohio shares, or, against the total number of tradable Park-Ohio shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Park-Ohio's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Park-Ohio shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0182% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Park-Ohio shares, roughly 18 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 Park-Ohio.

Have Park-Ohio's shares ever split?

Park-Ohio's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 6 April 1981. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Park-Ohio shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Park-Ohio shares which in turn could have impacted Park-Ohio's share price.

Park-Ohio share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Park-Ohio's shares have ranged in value from as little as $10.6844 up to $34.2626. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Park-Ohio's is 1.5731. This would suggest that Park-Ohio's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
