Shorting scPharmaceuticals shares
There are currently 197,296 scPharmaceuticals shares held short by investors – that's known as scPharmaceuticals's "short interest". This figure is 1% down from 199,347 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting scPharmaceuticals shares can be evaluated.
scPharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
scPharmaceuticals's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of scPharmaceuticals shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of scPharmaceuticals shares traded daily (recently around 51245.714285714). scPharmaceuticals's SIR currently stands at 3.85. In other words for every 100,000 scPharmaceuticals shares traded daily on the market, roughly 3850 shares are currently held short.
However scPharmaceuticals's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of scPharmaceuticals shares, or, against the total number of tradable scPharmaceuticals shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case scPharmaceuticals's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 scPharmaceuticals shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0133% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable scPharmaceuticals shares, roughly 13 shares are currently held short).
Such a low SIR usually points to an optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against scPharmaceuticals.
