Shorting RF Industries shares

There are currently 27,226 RF Industries shares held short by investors – that's known as RF Industries's "short interest". This figure is 192.5% up from 9,307 last month.

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

RF Industries's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

RF Industries's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of RF Industries shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of RF Industries shares traded daily (recently around 104715.38461538). RF Industries's SIR currently stands at 0.26. In other words for every 100,000 RF Industries shares traded daily on the market, roughly 260 shares are currently held short.

However RF Industries's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of RF Industries shares, or, against the total number of tradable RF Industries shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case RF Industries's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 RF Industries shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0028% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable RF Industries shares, roughly 3 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 RF Industries.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for RF Industries shares which in turn could have impacted RF Industries's share price.
