Shorting Skillz shares

There are currently 35.1 million Skillz shares held short by investors – that's known as Skillz's "short interest". This figure is 136.3% up from 14.8 million last month.

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

Skillz's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

Skillz's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Skillz shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Skillz shares traded daily (recently around 17.1 million). Skillz's SIR currently stands at 2.05. In other words for every 100,000 Skillz shares traded daily on the market, roughly 2050 shares are currently held short.

To gain some more context, you can compare Skillz's short interest ratio against those of similar companies.

However Skillz's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Skillz shares, or, against the total number of tradable Skillz shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Skillz's short interest could be expressed as 0.09% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Skillz shares in existence, roughly 90 shares are currently held short) or 0.1245% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Skillz shares, roughly 125 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 Skillz.
