Shorting Sesen Bio shares

There are currently 1.8 million Sesen Bio shares held short by investors – that's known as Sesen Bio's "short interest". This figure is 2.1% up from 1.8 million last month.

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

Sesen Bio's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Sesen Bio's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Sesen Bio shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Sesen Bio shares traded daily (recently around 2.2 million). Sesen Bio's SIR currently stands at 0.85. In other words for every 100,000 Sesen Bio shares traded daily on the market, roughly 850 shares are currently held short.

However Sesen Bio's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Sesen Bio shares, or, against the total number of tradable Sesen Bio shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Sesen Bio's short interest could be expressed as 0.01% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Sesen Bio shares in existence, roughly 10 shares are currently held short) or 0.0143% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Sesen Bio shares, roughly 14 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 Sesen Bio.
