Shorting SITE Centers shares
There are currently 6.1 million SITE Centers shares held short by investors – that's known as SITE Centers's "short interest". This figure is 18.6% down from 7.5 million last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting SITE Centers shares can be evaluated.
SITE Centers's "short interest ratio" (SIR)
SITE Centers's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of SITE Centers shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of SITE Centers shares traded daily (recently around 1.3 million). SITE Centers's SIR currently stands at 4.62. In other words for every 100,000 SITE Centers shares traded daily on the market, roughly 4620 shares are currently held short.
However SITE Centers's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of SITE Centers shares, or, against the total number of tradable SITE Centers shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case SITE Centers's short interest could be expressed as 0.03% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 SITE Centers shares in existence, roughly 30 shares are currently held short) or 0.0625% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable SITE Centers shares, roughly 63 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 SITE Centers.
