Shorting Selecta Biosciences shares

There are currently 10.6 million Selecta Biosciences shares held short by investors – that's known as Selecta Biosciences's "short interest". This figure is 18.2% up from 8.9 million last month.

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

Selecta Biosciences's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Selecta Biosciences's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Selecta Biosciences shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Selecta Biosciences shares traded daily (recently around 4.4 million). Selecta Biosciences's SIR currently stands at 2.43. In other words for every 100,000 Selecta Biosciences shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2430 shares are currently held short.

However Selecta Biosciences's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Selecta Biosciences shares, or, against the total number of tradable Selecta Biosciences shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Selecta Biosciences's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Selecta Biosciences shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.1047% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Selecta Biosciences shares, roughly 105 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 Selecta Biosciences.

Selecta Biosciences share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Selecta Biosciences's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1.42 up to $4.83. 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 Selecta Biosciences's is 1.1863. This would suggest that Selecta Biosciences's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
