Shorting PolarityTE shares

There are currently 2.4 million PolarityTE shares held short by investors – that's known as PolarityTE's "short interest". This figure is 7.7% down from 2.6 million last month.

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

PolarityTE's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

PolarityTE's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of PolarityTE shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of PolarityTE shares traded daily (recently around 593272.16748768). PolarityTE's SIR currently stands at 4.06. In other words for every 100,000 PolarityTE shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4060 shares are currently held short.

However PolarityTE's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of PolarityTE shares, or, against the total number of tradable PolarityTE shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case PolarityTE's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 PolarityTE shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.081% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable PolarityTE shares, roughly 81 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 PolarityTE.

PolarityTE share dividends

We're not expecting PolarityTE to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

Have PolarityTE's shares ever split?

PolarityTE's shares were split on a 1:6 basis on 1 August 2016. So if you had owned 6 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your PolarityTE shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 500% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for PolarityTE shares which in turn could have impacted PolarityTE's share price.

PolarityTE share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, PolarityTE's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.72 up to $4.6. 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 PolarityTE's is 1.7097. This would suggest that PolarityTE's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
