Shorting Sanmina Corporation shares

There are currently 1.9 million Sanmina Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Sanmina Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 6.9% up from 1.8 million last month.

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

Sanmina Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Sanmina Corporation's SIR currently stands at 5.83. In other words for every 100,000 Sanmina Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5830 shares are currently held short.

However Sanmina Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Sanmina Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Sanmina Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Sanmina Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Sanmina Corporation shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0336% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Sanmina Corporation shares, roughly 34 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 Sanmina Corporation.
