Shorting Proteon Therapeutics shares

There are currently 123,371 Proteon Therapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as Proteon Therapeutics's "short interest". This figure is 38.3% down from 199,813 last month.

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

Proteon Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Proteon Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Proteon Therapeutics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Proteon Therapeutics shares traded daily (recently around 152309.87654321). Proteon Therapeutics's SIR currently stands at 0.81. In other words for every 100,000 Proteon Therapeutics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 810 shares are currently held short.

However Proteon Therapeutics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Proteon Therapeutics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Proteon Therapeutics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Proteon Therapeutics's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Proteon Therapeutics shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0114% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Proteon Therapeutics shares, roughly 11 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 Proteon Therapeutics.
