Shorting Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares

There are currently 9.7 million Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as Rocket Pharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 0.6% up from 9.6 million last month.

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

Rocket Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Rocket Pharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 285652.76796231). Rocket Pharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 33.96. In other words for every 100,000 Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 33960 shares are currently held short.

However Rocket Pharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Rocket Pharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.18% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 180 shares are currently held short) or 0.2761% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares, roughly 276 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 20% would generally be considered very high, pointing to a pessimistic outlook for the share price, with a discouraging number of investors currently willing to bet against Rocket Pharmaceuticals.

Rocket Pharmaceuticals share dividends

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

Have Rocket Pharmaceuticals's shares ever split?

Rocket Pharmaceuticals's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 5 January 2018. So if you had owned 4 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 Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Rocket Pharmaceuticals shares which in turn could have impacted Rocket Pharmaceuticals's share price.

Rocket Pharmaceuticals share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Rocket Pharmaceuticals's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.01 up to $35. 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 Rocket Pharmaceuticals's is 1.5691. This would suggest that Rocket Pharmaceuticals's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
