Shorting Pinduoduo shares

There are currently 15.9 million Pinduoduo shares held short by investors – that's known as Pinduoduo's "short interest". This figure is 45.4% down from 29.1 million last month.

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

Pinduoduo's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Pinduoduo's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Pinduoduo shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Pinduoduo shares traded daily (recently around 6.2 million). Pinduoduo's SIR currently stands at 2.56. In other words for every 100,000 Pinduoduo shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2560 shares are currently held short.

However Pinduoduo's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Pinduoduo shares, or, against the total number of tradable Pinduoduo shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Pinduoduo's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Pinduoduo shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Pinduoduo shares, roughly 0 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 Pinduoduo.
