Shorting SelectQuote shares

There are currently 6.4 million SelectQuote shares held short by investors – that's known as SelectQuote's "short interest". This figure is 15% up from 5.6 million last month.

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

SelectQuote's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

SelectQuote's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of SelectQuote shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of SelectQuote shares traded daily (recently around 2.8 million). SelectQuote's SIR currently stands at 2.26. In other words for every 100,000 SelectQuote shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2260 shares are currently held short.

However SelectQuote's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of SelectQuote shares, or, against the total number of tradable SelectQuote shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case SelectQuote's short interest could be expressed as 0.04% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 SelectQuote shares in existence, roughly 40 shares are currently held short) or 0.0518% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable SelectQuote shares, roughly 52 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 SelectQuote.
