There are currently 6.2 million Scientific Games Corporation shares held short by investors – that's known as Scientific Games Corporation's "short interest". This figure is 12.1% down from 7.0 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Scientific Games Corporation shares can be evaluated.
Scientific Games Corporation's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Scientific Games Corporation shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Scientific Games Corporation shares traded daily (recently around 700424.06356413). Scientific Games Corporation's SIR currently stands at 8.81. In other words for every 100,000 Scientific Games Corporation shares traded daily on the market, roughly 8810 shares are currently held short.
However Scientific Games Corporation's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Scientific Games Corporation shares, or, against the total number of tradable Scientific Games Corporation shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Scientific Games Corporation's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Scientific Games Corporation shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.1077% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Scientific Games Corporation shares, roughly 108 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 Scientific Games Corporation.

Scientific Games Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 26 October 1993. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Scientific Games Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Scientific Games Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Scientific Games Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Scientific Games Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $3.76 up to $52.88. 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 Scientific Games Corporation's is 2.0411. This would suggest that Scientific Games Corporation's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
