Shorting RingCentral shares

There are currently 6.1 million RingCentral shares held short by investors – that's known as RingCentral's "short interest". This figure is 5.6% up from 5.8 million last month.

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

RingCentral's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

RingCentral's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of RingCentral shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of RingCentral shares traded daily (recently around 1.2 million). RingCentral's SIR currently stands at 5.26. In other words for every 100,000 RingCentral shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5260 shares are currently held short.

However RingCentral's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of RingCentral shares, or, against the total number of tradable RingCentral shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case RingCentral's short interest could be expressed as 0.07% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 RingCentral shares in existence, roughly 70 shares are currently held short) or 0.091% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable RingCentral shares, roughly 91 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 RingCentral.
