In this case PubMatic's short interest could be expressed as 0.05% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 PubMatic shares in existence, roughly 50 shares are currently held short) or 0.3551% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable PubMatic shares, roughly 355 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 PubMatic.
