Shorting Pinduoduo shares

There are currently 31.3 million Pinduoduo shares held short by investors – that's known as Pinduoduo's "short interest". This figure is 1.9% down from 31.9 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 5.9 million). Pinduoduo's SIR currently stands at 5.33. In other words for every 100,000 Pinduoduo shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5330 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 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Pinduoduo shares in existence, roughly 30 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).

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 Pinduoduo.
