Shorting Sarepta Therapeutics shares

There are currently 8.8 million Sarepta Therapeutics shares held short by investors – that's known as Sarepta Therapeutics's "short interest". This figure is 0.6% down from 8.9 million last month.

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

Sarepta Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Sarepta Therapeutics's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Sarepta Therapeutics shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Sarepta Therapeutics shares traded daily (recently around 810242.73897059). Sarepta Therapeutics's SIR currently stands at 10.88. In other words for every 100,000 Sarepta Therapeutics shares traded daily on the market, roughly 10880 shares are currently held short.

However Sarepta Therapeutics's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Sarepta Therapeutics shares, or, against the total number of tradable Sarepta Therapeutics shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Sarepta Therapeutics's short interest could be expressed as 0.1% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Sarepta Therapeutics shares in existence, roughly 100 shares are currently held short) or 0.124% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Sarepta Therapeutics shares, roughly 124 shares are currently held short).

A SIR above 10% would generally be considered pretty high, pointing to a potentially pessimistic outlook for the share price and a discouraging interest in betting against Sarepta Therapeutics.
