There are currently 11.7 million Penn National Gaming shares held short by investors – that's known as Penn National Gaming's "short interest". This figure is 15.1% down from 13.7 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Penn National Gaming shares can be evaluated.
Penn National Gaming's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Penn National Gaming shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Penn National Gaming shares traded daily (recently around 4.3 million). Penn National Gaming's SIR currently stands at 2.7. In other words for every 100,000 Penn National Gaming shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2700 shares are currently held short.
However Penn National Gaming's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Penn National Gaming shares, or, against the total number of tradable Penn National Gaming shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Penn National Gaming's short interest could be expressed as 0.08% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Penn National Gaming shares in existence, roughly 80 shares are currently held short) or 0.0826% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Penn National Gaming shares, roughly 83 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 Penn National Gaming.
